Brunell Irene Haynes

It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Brunell "Nelly" Irene Haynes on June 17, 2022, at the age of 93 years. She will be dearly missed by her 5 children, 10 grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren, and 4 great-great grandchildren.

Nelly was born in New Orleans, LA and resided in Sierra Madre, CA at the time of her passing. Nelly was a proud resident of Sierra Madre for 72 years and was heavily involved in the community. She and her husband raised their 5 children there, she worked at the Sierra Madre Skilled Nursing Facility, she volunteered at the Senior Center and Wisteria thrift shop for years, and was a member of the Sierra Madre Women's Club.

Nelly was full of life and her spirit will live on in those that hold her dear. She was kind, feisty, silly, and loved deeply. Nelly loved spending time with her family, volunteering, and walking / driving around Sierra Madre. She was charismatic and talked to all that passed by. A people person that will not easily be forgotten.

A funeral service in her honor is scheduled for 10am on July 22nd at St. Rita Catholic Pairsh.
