For over 50 years I have admired Ms. Nell Huntspon as a business woman. It wasn’t until I had graduated from Lane College and moved to Denver then later to Minnesota, that I started ordering flowers for dear ones at home in Jackson. I would call her shop and most of the time it was she who answered the phone and took my orders. Wow! For me, it was like talking to a celebrity each time she answered. She made sure the flowers were delivered to rural Jackson on country roads less traveled when it came to flower deliveries. Recipients felt incredibly special to receive. I thank you Ms. Nell for the beauty that you arranged for so many. May you Rest in Heavenly Peace❤️
