Maenelwyn Haught, better known as Nell or Mamaw, was born on December 24, 1934, in Kilgore to Robert B. and Leah Brooks Reagh. Nell served as a Pastor’s wife for almost 30 years. Jesus was the center of her life and character. She was an exceptional student of the Bible and her Christian walk influenced numerous individuals throughout her life.

Nell also worked as a Medical Transcriber and as a Resident Director at East Texas Baptist University. She was a member of East Mountain Baptist Church and Emmanuel Baptist Church in White Oak, TX. She was an excellent servant and her love for children drew her to children’s programs and VBS. People that knew Nell would quickly confirm her spiritual gift of service as she always put others first. Her testimony and spiritual walk demonstrated her passion and love for the Lord.

Mamaw adored her children and her grandchildren became the pride of her life. She was so thrilled to have great grandchildren as she knew each was part of a heritage from the Lord. She will not be forgotten by all the loving family that she leaves behind.

Nell is survived by two daughters, Joy Suzanne Henson and husband Jerry; Sharon Lynell Brignac and husband Brian; son Craig Knight and wife Christine. Also survived by a brother Don Reagh and wife June, five grandchildren, eight great grandchildren, and another coming soon. Her extended families include the Hardins and Haughts with many nieces, nephews, and other loving family and friends.

She was preceded in death by two husbands, Jeff Hardin and Lohman Haught, and two brothers Herman Reagh and Randy Reagh.
