Nenette is lovingly remembered by her four grandchildren: Brandi (Garrett) Bridges, Bradley (Brooke) Enfinger, Brent (Katie) Enfinger, and Brooklyn (Charles Tabb Lane). Her legacy will live on through her great-grandchildren: Jordan Cannon, Garret Reese, and Cooper Grow Bridges, McKinley Karyl, Colten Clarke, Messer Reed, and Charlie Ridge Enfinger. Also, she was preceded in death by her much-loved brother, Dewitt Sheffield, and sister-in-laws, Joan Sheffield and Betty Mae Wilson and brother-in-laws, William Russell Blackmon, Billy Wilson, and Eugene Williams. Other survivors include her dear brother, James Sheffield, and three loving sisters: Wynell Williams, Delory Blackmon, and sister-in-law, Jean Sheffield.
