Nelia Jean Ernst

Nelia Jean Ernst, 66, of Dover, passed away on Monday, April 10, 2017 surrounded by family at Baptist Hospital in Little Rock. She was born to Ed and Neva Stogdil on May 6, 1950, sibling to three brothers and two sisters. She graduated from Bella Vista High School in Fair Oaks, Calif. Nelia was an admirer of bowling, which she passed on to the family. Nothing made her happier than family gatherings in her big blue house, and beating all of them at "Skip-Bo." Nelia is survived by her loving husband, Michael Ernst, her children, Rolland, Rose and Holly, her stepchildren, grandchildren, and even more great-grandchildren. We will all be missing her contagious smile and her beautiful heart. Arrangements by Little Rock Funeral Home, (501) 224-2200. Nelia's online guestbook may be signed at www.littlerockfuneralhome.com.
