Proud to have known this beautiful, kind and loving woman; may she rest in eternal peace. She will be greatly missed.
My Aunt Mary Nell was such a wonderful mother and a true artist when it came to her beauty shop. I fondly remember my mom (Colleen Martin) making the big appointment for Aunt Mary Nell to do my hair for my 6th grade graduation celebration. My hair was so long and so straight and my mom wanted my hair to be rather curly for my the big. Aunt Mary worked on my hair several hours to get it perfect. My mom and I both were both so happy. Ofcourse while she worked on my hair she also did my granny and my mom’s hair on as well. She was so very talented and dedicated. God bless Aunt Mary Nell she was such a sweet Aunt who will forever remain in my memories and my heart. My heart goes out to cousin Deborah.
