On May 10, 1940 she married Noel Bake in Preston, MO and they spent many wonderful years together. Nell was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She held various jobs throughout her life but enjoyed being a homemaker and helping to take care of others in their homes. Nell also enjoyed sewing, quilting, cooking and baking. She made incredible hot rolls that were light and fluffy. She used so much butter that her family joked you put the roll-on butter not the other way around. They also loved that she rolled out the remaining dough and sprinkled it with cinnamon and sugar for them. Nell had a big heart and a warm smile. She will be missed by many. She is preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband, Noel Bake and her four brothers.
