Novell was born on February 29, 1948 in Beaumont, TX. to her mother, Elizabeth Pickens. She was raised by Grandfather, Henry Pickens and Grandmother, Nora Pickens. Novell was a mother and wife whose presence will be greatly missed as she was a kind spirit who took great pleasure in helping others. She was married for 31 years to Marshall J.
