d. November 28, 2017
Mrs. Nell Hart Shuman, age 95, passed Monday morning at the Abercorn Rehabilitation Center in Savannah, GA.
Born to William Hart, Sr. and Mary Thelma Lee Hart and raised on the family farm in Bulloch County, GA. She attended Elmer Church and was baptized in the creek behind the church. She graduated from Georgia Teachers College High School in 1937 and moved to Savannah in 1939.
She began working with the Savannah Telephone Company and moved to Atlanta with them but eventually returned to Savannah where she lived and raised her family. She continued to work for the phone company, then Southern Bell, until going to work for Building Specialties and finally The Briar Patch where she continued to work until their last location closed when she was 80 years of age.
She loved working in her yard and caring for her rose garden and her sago palms trees. She often verbally attacked and shook her fist at squirrels who threw down pine cones into the yard.
