Nell was born March 18, 1933 in Baxley, Georgia to James Earl Shadron and Mildred Beecher Shadron. She attended and graduated from Bacon County Schools where she was an outstanding member of the varsity basketball team.
She was actively involved in sports throughout her life. Other than basketball, Nell enjoyed many years as the pitcher of the Medical Center Pharmacy’s ladies softball team. Line dancing was another love of her life. She was active with several local line dancing organizations and enjoyed traveling around the area with her line dancing friends and family.
However, the main passion of Nell’s life was undoubtedly her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She enjoyed attending their dance recitals, baseball and football games, and spoiling them in general.
She is survived by her daughter, Leigh Ann Drumps Varnedoe; her sister, Jorja (Joy) Moore; her brother, James Earl Shadron; daughter-in-law, Diane Drumps,; granddaughters, Joni Cleghorn, Marci Walker, Cherie Ortiz, Hannah Varnedoe and Haleigh Varnedoe; ten great-grandchildren, four great-great grandchildren, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Nell is preceded in death by her parents, her daughter Vicki Brinson, her son, Gary John Drumps, her sister, Jeri Jackson, and brothers, Don Shadron and Billy Shadron.
A Celebration of Life will be held May 11,2024 from 5:00-7:00 at Edo Miller Funeral Home. A private family burial service will be held later. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Coastal Hospice or a charity of choice.
