Nell was preceded in death by her mother, father, and sister, Karen Denise Kersh. She is survived by her brother Mike, her brother-in-law Cesar, nieces Kathleen and Anna and their husbands Emanuel and Kevin. The family will receive friends on Tuesday, June 12 from 10:00 to 10:30 a.m. at Morton & Whetstone Funeral Home located at 139 S. Dixie Drive in Vandalia.
