Nell, who was actually named Nellie Clarietta, was born on November 25, 1927, in Hull, the daughter of William and Hattie (Vermeer) Vis. She lived at Hull all her life.
As an adult, she first served as a housekeeper for area families. Then she was
employed as a nurses’ aid at the Pleasant Acres Care Center in Hull for 24
years, retiring in 1990.
In July of 2001, Miss Vis became a resident of Pleasant Acres.
She was a member of the Hope Christian Reformed Church and also served as a foster grandparent at Hope Haven in Rock Valley. She enjoyed embroidering, especially table cloths, which she gave to her nieces.
Survivors include four sisters and two brothers, Gertrude, and her husband

Vis, and his wife, Edith, of Grandville, Michigan; John Vis, and his wife,

a sister-in-law, Gertrude Vis, of Rock Valley; and a brother-in-law, Cornie

She is also survived by many nephews and nieces, who were very important to her. She appreciated the care several of them gave to her over the years.

Peter Vis, and his wife, Esther; Ed Vis; and Gerrit Vis; two sisters, Elizabeth Zevenbergen; and Henrietta, and her husband the Rev. S. T.
