Mrs. Marilyn Nettles Little, age 77, passed away on Thursday, May 26, 2011 at her home surrounded by her family who had lovingly cared for her during her illness of the past several months. She was born in Okahumpka, Florida on November 15, 1933 to the late Rosa Lee Shaw Nettles and William Jackson Nettles and moved to Columbia County with her parents at an early age. She was a retired educator with the Columbia County School System having received a Bachelor’s Degree in elementary education from Valdosta State University and a Master’s Degree from the University of Florida in five areas of certification, elementary education, reading, curriculum development, guidance and administration/supervision. She taught first grade and reading at Five Points School and served as a Guidance Counselor at Five Points, the Kindergarten Center and Fort White School until retiring in 1994. During her more than thirty years as an educator, she touched the lives of thousands of young people in Columbia County. She was an avid reader and loved to travel having traveled extensively in the United States, Europe, Mexico and Costa Rica, but her favorite destination was “The Little Place”, the family’s summer home in Franklin, North Carolina, especially when her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were visiting. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints holding several leadership positions including Primary teacher, visiting teacher and Relief Society President.
