Her parents were contemporaries of Buffalo "Bill" Cody, during the early days, which allowed her to truly grow up in a western setting. Nell grew up in Cody, and graduated from Cody High School. She attended Woodbury Business College in Los Angeles. After graduation, she entered the Women's Army Corps. Upon leaving the Army, Nell returned to Cody to help her parents operate Pawnee Hotel (now the Chamberlin Inn). The Pawnee Hotel, after the war, was the bus stop for Continental Trailways.

They moved to Billings in 1951. Galen and Nell celebrated 59 years of marriage. Nell enjoyed being a homemaker for many years. When her children were older, she began working at PAYS (Public Auction Yards) in Billings, as an accountant. From there, she went to Billings Livestock as an accountant, until her retirement.
