Mary Nell Hopper Muzzall was born July 25, 1924, in Hardin County, Tennessee to the late Thomas D. Hopper and the late Vica Nix Hopper. She is survived by her sons, James H. Muzzall, Jr. of Mansfield and Tellie Muzzall and his wife Brenda of Springville; grandchildren, Brittany Morgan and her husband Blake of Almo, Kentucky, and Hunter Oulman of Paris; great-grandchildren, Maryn and Max Morgan of Almo, Kentucky; brother, Thomas A. Hopper of Jackson, Tennessee; and nephew, Tommy Hopper and his wife Jeannie of Jackson, Tennessee.
Besides her parents, Mary Nell is also preceded in death by her husband, James "Howard" Muzzall, Sr. (preceded in 1977), and by her daughter, Melissa Ann Muzzall Oulman (preceded November 12, 2022).
There arent enough words to truly describe Mary Muzzall and the legacy she leaves behind after 98 years. Mary was the epitome of a Christian and a lady. As an administrative assistant for over 25 years to the District Superintendent of the United Methodist Church Paris District office, she used her years to love God and people, and those who knew her could feel it. She was sharply dressed and always wore a smile. Mary loved traveling with her friends and family, scrapbooking, and cooking.
Most of all, Mary was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and aunt. She never missed a ball game, chorus concert, or other school event, and she was her grandchildrens biggest cheerleader. Her nurturing spirit, infectious laugh, and the way she made everything better will be missed by all of those who knew her.
