Bertha Nell Key Bagwell
Oct. 12, 1927 - Nov. 29, 2014
Macon, GA- Bertha Nell Key Bagwell died on November 29, 2014.
She is survived by her husband, John M. Bagwell and their three children, Timothy John Bagwell (Susan) of Macon, Georgia, William Key Bagwell (Sue) of Statesboro, Georgia, and Nancy Elizabeth Martin (Glenn) of Lawrenceville, Georgia; Grandchildren, John H. Bagwell (Greta), Emily Bagwell, Margaret Frazier (Caleb), Sarah Bagwell, Rachel Bagwell and Janell Martin; and two great-grandchildren: Timothy Nelson Bagwell and Ruby Nell Frazier.
Bertha Nell was preceded in death by her parents, Morris Denton Key and Bertha Leila Flanders Key of Adrian, Georgia; her brother, Woodruff Denton Key of Swainsboro, Georgia; and her sister, Marjorie Leila Key, of Dallas, Texas.
B. Nell, as she was affectionately known, was born in Adrian, Georgia on October 12, 1927. She was the youngest of five children; three older brothers, Woody, Jack and Billy and one older sister, Marjorie. After leaving Adrian, she graduated from Young Harris College in the north Georgia mountains, and then attended Asbury College in Wilmore, Kentucky graduating with a teaching degree that she later used in public education. Because of her dedication to the Methodist Church, she returned to south Georgia and was employed by the Methodist Church as a children and youth rural worker within the churches of the Dublin District. She continued her involvement in the church and was particularly committed to the work and ministry of the United Methodist Women. Perhaps the best way that she will be remembered is for her dedicated service alongside her husband who was a pastor in a number of churches in the South Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church. Her grandchildren knew her as "Mom" and will always remember the happy times as she provided homemade lemonade and cookies, and set the table with fresh zinnias from her garden. Her children remember her as a mother filled with encouragement and generosity. Her husband remembers her as the love of his life, a precious gift from God, from the very moment they fell in love on a bus headed for Wilmore, Kentucky.
The funeral will be 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, December 2, 2014 at Adrian United Methodist Church, Adrian, Georgia with Rev. Creede Hinshaw officiating. Burial will immediately follow this service at Poplar Springs Cemetery.
A time of visitation with the family is planned for 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. on Monday, December 1 at Carlyle Place Retirement Community, 5300 Zebulon Road, Macon, Georgia.
Macon Memorial Park Funeral Home has charge of arrangements.
