Like her father and older brother, she spent most of her adult life working for the U.S. government.

Sometime before 1920 the family bought a home at 1316 East Capitol Street, a little more than a mile from the Capitol Building, where they lived for the rest of their lives.

After the deaths of her parents, Nellie continued to live at the family home until her death in 1955.
