Nellie Mae Hollins was the second child born to the union of Robert and Nettie Howard on August 15, 1937 in Morganza, Louisiana. She accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at the Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church, where she sang in the choir for many years and remained a faithful member until her death. Nellie received her education in the Pointe Coupee Parish school system.
