Nellie "Nell" Jordan
d. October 6, 2019
Nellie Grace Jordan (Grimes) aged 84 passed away October 6, 2019 in the Methodist Richardson Hospital.
Born in Rowlett, Texas November 24, 1934 to Bessie May Bayless and adopted by John Walter Grimes. She met and married the love of her life Robert Alton Jordan. They loved to share the story of how they met. He was delivering ice to her home and she peeked out the window. She asked that she pay him and the rest is history. They were married January 19, 1951. Robert entered the Air Force shortly after. They served 11 years in the USAF traveling the United States.
Together they raised three sons to be wonderful men. Nell was a homemaker for most of her adult life and taking care of her family was the most important thing to her. She loved her children and grandchildren with all her heart. She was an excellent cook, and is known for her Nanaw Pudding. She loved shopping, playing Bingo, and hosting Holiday gatherings.
Nell is survived by her three sons; Garry Jordan and his fiance Cheryl Malenky Wood of Rockwall; Mike and his wife Vicki Jordan of Garland; and Steve and his wife Stephanie Jordan of Rogers Ark; her 10 grandchildren; Heather Minichillo and husband Brian; Morgan Jordan and fiance Jacob Speake; Courtney Jordan Henderson and her husband Davey; Adam Jordan and his wife Victoria; Eric Jordan and his wife Erin; Chelsey Gobi and her husband Adam; Alex Jordan; Melissa Morrison and her husband Mitchell; John DelFosse and his wife Christina; and Chris DelFosse; and 14 great grandchildren. Nell also leaves one brother; David Alton Grimes.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years Robert Alton Jordan; infant daughter Debra Kay Jordan; mother Bessie May Grimes and father John Walter Grimes; brother John Wayne; and her three sisters; Betty, Shirley and Carol.
