Every night and Sunday, friends would come over and play 42. She was also involved in Caldwell County genealogy and contributed to two books that they published. She always had a smile and a “Howdy” for everyone she met.
Tommie Nell was preceded in death by her parents and all of the many aunts , uncles and first cousins that she had. She is survived by numerous second- cousins .
