Mrs. Nutt was born Jan. 29, 1943, in Heard County to the late Willard Steve Vines and Elizabeth Belle Davis Vines.

She was a devoted member of Riverside Baptist Church. She spent many hours in the fellowship hall cooking and serving meals for her fellow members. Her contributions were so appreciated that the church honored her by naming the fellowship hall after her.

At home she devoted her life to the care of her family. Each month she prepared a special birthday meal for anyone in the family who had a birthday. She loved to cook for family gatherings, but Christmas was her favorite time. She made Christmas breakfast for everyone each year.

In her free time she enjoyed gardening, yard work and crafts. She was also an avid sports fan. Tennis was her favorite sport.
