Nellie grew up in downtown Jersey City. She was a graduate of Ferris High School class of 1971.  Upon graduation, she went to work as a Clerk Typist for the City of Jersey City in the licensing department. Nellie retired after 29 years of service.  Having lived in Jersey City for most of her life, she then moved to Bayonne, New Jersey to care for her son.  Nellie, as she was affectionately known, was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her.  She was a gentle soul with a sweet disposition and warm smile. She was a star bowler, loved playing Lotteria, and most of all, traveling with friends.  Her journey on this earth was marked by unwavering love, compassion and kindness.  Her passing has left a void in the hearts of her family and beloved friends.  Although her physical presence may no longer grace our lives, her spirit will continue to inspire and uplift us.  Remember Nellie for the profound impact she had on the lives of those who had the pleasure of knowing her.

The Romero-Ramos family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to all the caregivers and medical personnel that provided extraordinary support, assistance and care.
