As a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, Nelly was the heart of our home and family. She
showed her love through her passion of cooking, baking and gardening. She welcomed anyone to
her kitchen table. She cherished her French family and heritage of which she passed along to her
children and grandchildren. Her family was her greatest joy, and she was deeply committed to
their well-being. Nelly’s legacy lives on through the lives she touched and the family she
nurtured with endless love and wisdom.
A celebration of Nelly’s life will be held in the near future. Her final resting place will be in
Laon, France beside her mother.
The family would like to thank Melissa Sepe, APRN and team, Mayo Cancer Clinic, and the
