Nellie Irene (Armstrong) Smith, 77, joined her best friend Jesus in heaven on Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2019. Born April 19, 1942, in Chester, WV, to the late George F. and Dorothy J (VanDyke) Armstrong. She worked at Lincoln Life for many years before finding her place in the world as a care-giver. She will always be known for the way she generously gave to others. Known to many as ‘Granny’ or ‘Nanny’, and she adored being both. She is survived by her children, Brian (Deb) Smith, and Dawn Magsam; her grandchildren, Ryan (Autumn) Magsam, Kelsey (Brad Rizor) Magsam, Kari (Doryan Miller) Smith, and Shelby Smith; six great-grandchildren; and her brother David E. Armstrong. She was also preceded in death by brothers George and Jeffrey Armstrong. In her final act of generosity, she requested that her body be donated to science. The family will have a private memorial, and at a later date her ashes will be returned to the hills of West Virginia that she loved.
