From the net:

Creativity -- Nell Califf of Clarksdale, in 1987, took stock of her contributions to her community and found herself lacking. "I had been a sheep, grazing contentedly, head down and straight ahead, concerned for myself and mine," she says. So at the age of 68, the beauty salon owner decided to commit her creative energies to doing all she could for Clarksdale and Coahoma County.
Since then, she has lent her talent and enthusiasm to a variety of projects to enhance her hometown. But she's proudest of spearheading a drive to create a tax to fund tourism efforts in Coahoma County. Since it passed, the tax has helped build an exposition center and to renovate the abandoned Clarksdale Depot into Clarksdale Station, a soon-to-be bustling mall.
"Life is better the more active you are," says Nell. "Since I made my commitment to give something back to my community through volunteerism, life has treated me well." She was named a Mississippi Ageless Hero at the age of 80.

Thank you. She also runs a hair salon in clarksdale and everyone really liked her. Her family is panic stricken. They have organized 3 different search parties and have searched the entire length of Yazoo city. She isn't there. I think she got lost and ran out of gas, then perhaps took a ride from a stranger. We are scared because any decent stranger would have notified the authorites by now. Please pray for her. She was a loving and gentle woman.
