Brimberry was born as Nell F. Butner in Georgia. She married Halbert F. Brimberry in Fulton County, Georgia on July 12, 1885. H. F. Brimberry had been the postmaster in Albany, succeeding his father, from 1902 until his death in 1909.[2][3][4]
In 1911 she inaugurated the first airmail flight in the U.S. and struck the first airmail stamp. This preceded the first transcontinental airmail flight by nine years.
Brimberry played a significant role in the agricultural history of the American South when she secured for pecan growers the privilege of sealing their product in packages to be distributed by mail.
