Their mutual love of birds and wild flowers lead Nell and Warren on many adventures in the north Georgia mountains and Smokey Mountains. Family was important to Nell, making frequent trips to her parents and in-laws in Louisiana and to Iowa to visit her granddaughters. She adored her daughter-in-law, granddaughters and great grandchildren.
