I loved going to see Nell. She was really joy to be around. We shared memories & she always asked about Allen as well as others. She never seemed to feel sorry for herself other than when her father had died. I loved Nell & will miss her, but rejoice that she is now with her sweet Jesus!

Ms. Nell was a special person in the lives of so many here at Harrellsville Baptist Church. She was always smiling and wanted to know about church members and about Harrellsville Baptist Church. May the family receive the blessings of the Lord and the Love of all this community! Blessings to all the family

Nell was special when she came to Pinewood Manor. A favorite memory was when she was named “Queen of Heart” for a Heart Fund Raiser. I continued my visits with her through the years and she was always happy to see me and she called when she could. Unfortunately the last time I was able to visit was Valentine’s Day. She was much loved. Rest in peace, Nell.

I enjoyed my visits with Nell and missed not being able to visit last few months. She loved the Hersey bars and Pepsis I usually took her. I took ice cream several times and she liked that too. She was fun to talk with and had a sweet smile and loved her hugs. Rest in peace, dear friend. Sympathy to all her family.
