Lois Nelwyn Craig, or Nell as everyone knew her, was born Aug. 26, 1934 in Dora to the home of Ida Mae (Holliday) and Carl Latham "Pete" Field, and died at her home on Sept. 24, 2014. Nell graduated from Cora High School in 1952, and was a member of the Dora Church of Christ. After graduation, she attended nursing school in Lubbock. On Jan. 19, 1957 in Bethel, she was married to Kenneth Craig. They made their home in Elida. Nell was a wonderful cook, and always had more than plenty on the table for her family and whoever else might come. She raised a large garden every year, and canned everything her family had not consumed. Nell had a servant's heart and loved doing for others.
