Nelle E. (Ames) Kennedy, 82, of Cheyenne passed away July 15 at Davis Hospice Center.
She was born July 11, 1932, in Cheyenne, a daughter of the late Arlo and Carol (Butcher) Ames.
Nelle was a devoted mother, homemaker and expert seamstress who could accomplish anything she set her mind to. She was a wonderful cook and her signature dish was beef and noodles. She also made many beautiful birthday and wedding cakes.
Nelle had an uncanny way of making all in her reach feel important and loved. She had a generous heart, putting others needs above her own. She never missed a chance to help others in need. She will be remembered as a loving mother who gave her children all that she could. They were aware of her work, worry and sacrifice. She was a gift of God.
Nelle is survived by six children, Kenny Federer of Cheyenne, Annie Federer of Fort Collins, Colo., Marion Federer of Rock Springs, Ernie Federer (Marilyn) of Cheyenne, Lloyd Federer of Cheyenne and Eileen Federer Williams (Tim) of Highland, Utah; sister, Mildred Warr of Little Rock, Ark.; and brother, Ken Ames of Denver. She was "Grannie" to her 16 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
She was preceded in death by her parents and two sons, Les Federer and Kevin Federer.
