She was preceded in death by her son, Randy Nelson; parents, Thomas J. and Helen M. McCann; former husband, Don Nelson; her sister, Sue (Jim) Harlan; and lifelong friend, Dick Gallagher.

Her legacy will be one of love, ingenuity and service.

A celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
