Nell was born in Baxter Springs, Kansas on August 12, 1924 to Clifford A. Garner and Bessie M. Garner. Everyone knew her as a very caring, loving, and funny woman. She poured love into everything that she did and everyone that she knew. Anyone that had the opportunity to be a part of her life will remember her for her ability to cook. She could make a meal out of a few ingredients on hand and it would bring smiles all around the table.
She is preceded in death by her parents and sisters Gertrude Mitchell and Betty Walker.
Nell is survived by her children, Richard Brewer (Sherry) and Cindy Rote (Royce), her grandchildren, Jon Brooks (Erika) and Stephanie Brooks, her great-grandsons, Jacob and Jackson Brooks, as well as many other family members and friends.
