Ladies and gentlemen,

Thank you all for gathering here today to bid farewell to a truly remarkable woman, Nethel Iverson. As we come together to celebrate her life, let us reflect on the humble and inspirational nature she embodied throughout her time with us. Nethel was not only a beloved mother, but a cherished sister, and a doting grandmother and great-grandmother.

Nethel's love for her family was unwavering. Being a mother to three beautiful children brought her immense joy and fulfillment. She dedicated her life to nurturing and supporting them, teaching them the values of love, compassion, and perseverance. As a grandmother to five grandchildren and great-grandmother to eleven little ones, her legacy of warmth and devotion will continue to shine brightly through each generation.

Beyond her role as a loving matriarch, Nethel embraced the simple pleasures in life. She had a keen eye for hidden treasures, effortlessly finding joy in the thrill of yard sales, junk stores, and auctions. Her collections of tweety birds, owls, and rolling pins were a testament to her unique personality and her ability to find beauty in the most unexpected places.

Every time we see a daisy, let us be reminded of Nethel's love for life. The vibrant shade of pink, her favorite color, will forever evoke memories of her radiant spirit. She taught us that life is meant to be cherished, and that the beauty and joy in even the smallest things should never go unnoticed.

In moments of sorrow, we often turn to poetry, songs, or prayers to find solace. Today, we take comfort in the beautiful words of the hymn "I'll Fly Away." It speaks of a soul liberated and soaring to a place of eternal peace. Nethel's journey on this Earth may have come to an end, but her spirit, her love, and her wisdom will undoubtedly guide us as we continue our own journeys.

To conclude this eulogy, let us remember Nethel as she was, a woman of pure humility and unwavering inspiration. Her selfless love and incredible resilience taught us how to find light in the darkest of times. As we say our final goodbyes, let us hold her memory close to our hearts, forever grateful for having shared a part of our lives with such an exceptional soul.

May Nethel Iverson's spirit forever experience the peace she so deserves, and may her memory inspire us all to embrace life's simple joys and be a source of love for one another.
