Gongwer, 92, of rural Ashland died Thursday morning, June 13, 2013, at Brethren Care Village, Ashland. Nellie was born July 13, 1920, in Mansfield and was the daughter of Lester and Bertha (née Whittemire) Kershner. She was a 1938 graduate of Hayesville High School and a resident of the Widowville-Vermillion Township area most of her life. Nellie dearly loved her family and the Lord, witnessing to many during her lifetime. She was a member of Perrysville Baptist Church, where she was a former Sunday school teacher and also a member of Ashland Senior Citizens, helping with monthly dinners and baking her delicious pies. She loved her flowers and vegetable garden, which resulted in much canning and freezing. Additionally, she was famous for her fried chicken from her homegrown poultry. But Nellie is perhaps most well-known as "Hummingbird Lady of Widowville." Since 1970, she and her husband fed the hummingbirds at their home, Hummingbird Haven, which resulted in visitors from various states and countries stopping by. Her unique experience resulted in invitations to be the guest speaker before several organizations. Nellie also enjoyed quilting, crocheting and reading until her vision became a problem. Nellie is survived by her daughter, Marilyn (Duane) Cline of rural Ashland; one grandson, Tim Cline of Ashland; four great-grandchildren: Shane Hiller, Bryce Hiller, Tyler Cline and Trevor Cline; and one sister, Caralou Mitchell of Perrysville. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, David Gongwer, in 1991; her granddaughter, Marcie Hiller; and two brothers, Kenneth and Robert Kershner. Funeral services will be 10:30 a.m. Monday, June 17, 2013, at Lindsey Funeral Home, Loudonville, with the Rev. Howard Burnett officiating. Burial will be in Vermillion Cemetery, Hayesville. Friends may call 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, June 16, 2013, at Lindsey Funeral Home. Memorial contributions may be given to Perrysville Baptist Church, c/o Naomi Smart, 172 E. Third St., Perrysville, Ohio 44864; or Ashland Senior Citizen Center, 615 W. 10th St., Ashland, Ohio 44805. Condolences may be left for Nellie's family by visiting www.Byerly-Lindsey.com.
