Bye Mom I will feel you in my grandsons hand. I will smell you in the flowers. I will hear you in the evening silence. I will hold you in my heart. You are gone but yet so near. M Nell Nufie Conway On May 20, 2006 we lost our wife, mother, our grandmother, our great-grandmother, and sister. She is gone but never will be forgotten. Born to Ralph and Mary Dotson on August 28, 1918, she grew up and attended school in Lead, SD. Her higher education at St. Josephs Hospital in Deadwood, SD and in Denver, CO trained her as a registered nurse. She worked at Denvers Childrens Hospital, St. Elizabeths in Chicago, IL and at the hospital in Lead, SD. She was one of the first nurses at the nursing home in Sturgis, SD when it opened in the 60s. After an early retirement she was content in her life as a homemaker and grandmother. She is survived by her husband of 63 years Ernie Conway of Sturgis, and by two daughters, Pam Kennedy and her husband David of Sturgis, and Marcia Plambeck and her husband Joe of Rapid City. There are six grandchildren: Paula Beran and Kelly Barnes of Casper, WY, Krysti Shulz of Piedmont, Chad and Vicky Plambeck of Rapid City and Brad Plambeck, currently stationed at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas. Seven great-grandchildren also graced her life: Trevor Plambeck, Halli and Heidi Shulz, Bryn and Branten Barnes, and Hanna and Zachary Beran. Nell is also survived by her youngest sister Sarah Sanders of Rapid City, her eldest sister Dorothy Augustine of El Cajon, CA, and by six nieces and two nephews. She was preceded in death by her mother and father, her younger sister Winnie Shoemaker, and a younger brother Ralph Bud Dotson. As requested by the family, there will not be a public service. A memorial has been established in her name. Cards can be mailed to Ernest Conway, 1930 Fulton Street, Sturgis, SD, 57785.
