I am so sad to hear this, but I know that she’s in heaven with complete perfection and joy. Mrs. Sell was such a kind person to me and I know my mother loved working in the polls with her. I can honestly say I know she will be missed because she was a well respected lovely person on the north side.of Jacksonville
As a neighbor, I always enjoyed speaking to Mrs.Sell and sharing pleasant conversation. She always had a wonderful smile and It’s people like this that make a great neighborhood! I really will miss seeing her. I am very pleased to be friends with her two sons and I can tell you that things around here will not be the same without her. Knowing this true coal miners daughter was a real blessing! I know she is with the Lord now and I am grateful to her for making my day each time I saw her, it was always a pleasure.
