Upon retiring, she spent much time at the beach with her family. Nell loved the sun, sand, and water and walked many miles on the beach. Nell was well known as a great cook, having featured recipes in the State of Alabama cookbook. She made especially fine candy, delicious smoked turkeys, and exceptional cheese straws. Nell was an excellent seamstress. She was a very strong woman having lived by herself for forty years. For the last 16 years, her constant companion was her beloved dog, Buffy.

Nell was a member of First United Methodist Church in Dothan for over fifty years and served on the finance committee, the bulletin guild, and was an active member of the Fellowship Onyx Smart Sunday School Class.
