Helen Claire Nelson, born December 24, 1923, arrived at the end of her journey here on earth Tuesday, September 4, 2012. Daughter, Sister, Wife, Mom, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother: these are a few of the blessings she received as she went through life, all of which she cherished. She is survived by her sons, Rick (Sandi) and Doug (Nancy), brother, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nephew, and nieces. Birth&Death: between these two eternities we travel the paths of life, some given&some chosen. All of which define us as a person. May God provide her a peaceful passage to her next journey. She was loved and will be missed. Special thanks to Bonnie, who helped us care for Helen the past couple of years. There will be no visitation or funeral, and there will be a graveside service at a later date. In lieu of flowers, if you are so compelled, please make a donation to any hospice organization or to the Alzheimers Foundation of America.
