Mary Nell was a wonderful friend & class mate. She was fun, smart & I can still hear her yell as she guarded opponents during our basketball games. She was so proud of her family & spoke of her love for Jerry the last time we visited. Her family is in our prayers & she will live on in our hearts.

I am extremely sorry for your loss. Mary Nell and I went to Nueces Canyon ISD for six years together and graduated in 1961. She was an aggressive basketball player, and a very smart student, plus she was very strong in her faith. Memories of the fun times we shared during our school days will always be cherished. I know each of you are hurting over her passing, but do remember that she is in a better place and is at peace without pain. May God wrap his arms around each member of her family and comfort you all. Lucille (Carson) Hutcherson
