Nell was my across the street neighbor at her condo in Elk Rapids…. She always had a smile and I loved talking with her, especially about her many trips. I missed her so much when she moved, but I knew she was going to be near family and she was happy. Sending my deepest sympathy to her family for your great loss. Dorothy McCleary
I feel lucky to have had my dear cousin Nell in my life over so many years. We lived far apart, and years would go by between our meetings, but she always greeted me like an old friend, happy to see me. She was warm and kind and very special to me. As I get older and older, I'm going to think of Nell and try to be like her.
Nell was such a great friend and dedicated to the Elk Rapids District Library and many other things. I always enjoyed my visits with her.
I have such great memories of my Aunt Nell through the years. All the good times in Michigan and the family trips she made out West to see us, she really was a big part of my life growing up. One of my favorite memories was at the Betsie river cabin, swimming with Nell and her taking us on a fantastic canoe trip down the river.
So glad I got to see her in Colorado last year when she came out for a visit, which she always seemed to find a way to make the trip, even at 93! It was so nice to hear her telling stories in her wonderful Michigan accent, just as funny as always, I’ll miss that. I’ll miss her calm and wise ways too, always had good advice and could put everything in perspective.
Of course I have to mention the hand knit Christmas stockings she made for all of us, I’ll cherish it forever as it always reminds me of her. I love that she kept making them for each new generation of kids, I did notice the stockings were getting bigger with each new generation :) These are just one of many reminders of a life well lived and well shared.
Nell, I know you are at peace with your Dave now and I’ll always remember your time here with me, it was fantastic.
Love you,
Steve

My precious time with Nell was when she shared her history of her life, and how she met her beloved husband. The summer Nell spent time helping her Aunt that taught her so many talents and loved Nell like a daughter. The excitement in Nell’s face when her children came to visit and her brother. She would have me help her prepare for travel and was so happy. When she arrived home she would tell me all about how wonderful it was to see her loved ones. Nell told me about the Grand Canyon and told me to see it. If not for her this never would have happened. She was a true friend and I love her so much. I look forward to seeing her again in Heaven. God Bless her family and give them peace. In Jesus Name.
