Nell was born in Collinstown, MS on August 4, 1933, a daughter of Sam and Ceniliois (Petty) Faulkner. She married Ernest McClain in Peoria on December 18, 1950.

Nell was employed as a cook at the Bradley University TKE fraternity house for many years. She also worked as a caregiver at the Fireside Nursing Home and Quality Care as a personal caregiver.
Her cooking was well known throughout the city. In her later years, she spent many of her days volunteering at the Salvation Army, where she cooked in the kitchen and assisted the staff during their busy Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons.
Nell was a member of the Foster Grandparent Program, Senior World and New Cornerstone Baptist Church, where she served in the Missionary Department for many years. One of her greatest joys was going to the Holy Lands and being baptized in the Jordan River.
She was a faithful Saint of God on this earth. She was a spirit-filled, loving woman who showed her love and kindness to everyone she came in contact with.
