Nettie Mae Overstreet Marshall, 94, of Gainestown died December 26, 2023 at Grove Hill Memorial Hospital. Nettie Mae was born July 2, 1929 to Bonnie and Allie Overstreet in Alma. She was a loving, Christian woman who enjoyed reading her bible and attending church at Jones Chapel Methodist Protestant Church where she was a founding member. Nettie Mae was also a member of Jones Chapel Trio where she shared her love of singing gospel music along with singers, Yvonne Bryan and Louise Overstreet and musicians Doug Palmer and Paulette Autry.

Nettie Mae found peace in sitting outside watching the hummingbirds flit around. She enjoyed tending to her flowers and produce in her garden as well as cooking a delicious meal for her loved ones.
