Nellie graduated from the Havemeyer School on Greenwich Avenue and was a parishioner of St. Roch's Church. She was a talented seamstress with a golden smile that lit up a room. She enjoyed working outside in her yard, and going to the beach with her grandchildren, as well as playing bingo.

In addition to her parents and siblings, Nellie joins her loved ones that have gone before her: her husband, Joseph Lovetri; daughter, Nancy Patston; and son, Charles "Chick" Lovetri, all of Greenwich.
