As I’m sure many of you have already heard, our Hinds CC friend and colleague Dr. Nell Ann Pickett passed away Tuesday, July 7. Because of the virus, there will be a private service for family now, with a memorial at a later date. Nell Ann was a force, a perfect example of Shakespeare’s quote, “Though she be but little, she be fierce.” A tireless supporter of community colleges, she served in many capacities in state, regional, and national organizations for English instructors. Nellie and Ann Laster wrote what was for many years the best-selling technical English textbook in the country, fighting their publishers to get their names and college identified when the publisher wanted initials to disguise that they were women and a preface by a four-year professor to disguise that they were CC instructors. They won that battle. In addition to being the consummate professional, Nell Ann encouraged and supported others in the field, often reaching out to a new member of an organization to make sure that he/she felt included. She has endowed many scholarships at Hinds, promoted adjunct instruction at our ten-state regional organization with a stipend, and endowed the Nell Ann Pickett Service Award at the CCCC. The contributions are huge! Nell Ann was always the first on the dance floor, the first to participate, and the first to greet her colleagues at a gathering. And, on her farm at Bear Creek, she could bush hog, deliver calves, and clean and filet fish with the same ease with which she conducted a class or addressed SACS for accreditation meetings. She will be missed on so many levels, but she is the perfect example of a life well-lived. RIP, Nellie.
