Nettie McGee

What I Live For Poet: Unknown I live for those that love me, For those that know me true, For the heaven that smiles above me, And waits my coming to. For the course that needs assistance, For the wrongs that need resistance, For the future in the distance, For the good that I can do. Thank you Nettie for living a life of resisting the wrongs. May you find your peace and and reward in heaven. L Carpiaux

I haven't seen Nettie since high school but her presence was so powerful that there was no way to miss that she came to live out loud. She was a passionate force to be reckoned with and I admired her kindness, caring about others and her tenacity. I leave her with Maya Angelou's "When Great Trees Fall" https://bit.ly/3AqbLHq which ends with "And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms, slowly and always irregularly. Spaces fill with a kind of soothing electric vibration. Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us. They existed. They existed. We can be. Be and be better. For they existed." To Nettie. Love to her family.

I send my condolences to the family and friends of Nettie. ❤️ A couple of years ago, she asked to be friends on Facebook and told me that we had gone to high school together. I believed her but honestly could not remember any classmate by the name of Nettie. After seeing her obituary, I realized that I knew her as Nanette! Then I could picture us sitting in an English class together, two separate rows but across from each other. She asked me if I had any fingernail polish remover and I told her that I didn't but if she slathered some nail polish on her fingernails and then wiped it off, the old polish would dissolve and come off. Nettie was skeptical but tried it anyway...and it worked. All this exchange while we were supposed to be listening to our English teacher! Wishing each of you a peaceful heart filled with memories of Nettie. ❤️

My husband and I met Nettie over the summer in July. We attended an OWR event in Wausau. She was there. She was a water protector. She was active with Save The Menominee River. We weee friends on Facebook. It was nice to meet her in person. Prayers for her family.🙏🏻🙏🏻

A life lived in the pursuit of truth and justice is a life well lived. Thanks for your hard work Nettie. And thanks for the support you offered me. I hope you enjoy the music I am going to play for you.
