Nell Ranieri

Oh, dear sweet Nellie. My stepmom's mom, we will miss you. Always with a glitter in your big blue eyes and boundless energy and joy. A sweet lady who's only vice was candy. The sweetest of sweet tooth and the sweetest of smiles. I have you and Lido to thank for my lovely stepmom, Kate. We are better for having your heart in the world. xoxo, Therese

My sweet nurse aunt nell had great influence on me when i was waiting to get into nursing school and trying to back out and go hitchhike the world. she helped reason with me about what was the wisest decision for my future. then when i got into nursing school, she cheered me on to keep at it and quit skipping class so i could ski. she made being a nurse really sound great. so here i am still nursing and thanking my awesome aunt nell. i love the memory of her at my moms home in spokane...

Nell was a dear lady, and my mother, Doris Franckum, loved and cherish their friendship. She always had a smile on her face and was a delight to be around. We'll miss her, but are happy she's with her Lido! Our thoughts and prayers go out to you family members!

What a great woman and also a great family. Sorry to hear of her passing, my heart goes out to Kathy and Greg and their families. I hope grief will be replaced with fond memories before long. ---Melody Whitefield Chambers
