Nan Harrell, 88, of Morehead City and formerly of Snow Hill, died at home on July 8, 2021.

A native of Snow Hill, North Carolina, Nan was born on May 13, 1933, to the late David and Lois Corbett. Nan married the love of her life, Elmer E. Harrell, and they were blessed with 61 years together before his passing in May of 2014. Nan was a faithful military wife during Elmer’s 22 years of service with the United States Army. Following his retirement in 1974, they moved back to their beloved hometown of Snow Hill.

Nan’s devotion to her Lord and Savior was exemplified at Harrell’s Chapel Original Free Will Baptist Church where they were members. She joyfully taught Sunday School, assisted in the Lady’s Auxiliary, and sang beautifully in the church choir. Her loving personality and faith in the Lord made her a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother to her family.

Her surviving family members include her daughter, Tamra Loftin and husband Jake of Newport; son, Greg Harrell and wife Sandra of Snow Hill; sister, Patsy Hall of Snow Hill; grandchildren, Christopher Warters, Lorie Ingram and Joshua Harrell; and great grandchildren, Karly Harrell, Wyatt Harrell, Braeden Warters, Evelyn Harrell and Bryson Hardee.

A graveside service will be held at 3 p.m., Monday, July 12th, at the Harrell’s Chapel Original Free Will Baptist Church Cemetery in Snow Hill, officiated by Rev. Chuck Owens. The family will receive friends from 2 p.m. until 3 p.m., Monday, July 12th, at Harrell’s Chapel Original Free Will Baptist Church.
