Doris Nelson
March 3, 1929 — February 16, 2020
Originally from Iowa, she met and married Elmer Nelson and started their family. They moved to Oregon for work and to raise their children, settling in Salem in 1963.
A woman of many talents, she was as skilled at woodworking and rock polishing as she was at crocheting and quilting. She enjoyed a number of hobbies and activities: camping, fishing, bird watching, travel, and a good rummage sale!
A much loved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great great grandmother. She leaves behind the love of her life and husband of 71 years, Elmer Nelson, along with their 4 children; Douglas Nelson (Virginia), Paula Rawlins (Jim), Steven Nelson (Kim), Janet Briles (Mike), 10 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren and 3 great great grandchildren.
She will be missed more than any words can express.
A private graveside service will be held at Restlawn Memory Gardens on Tuesday, February 25, 2020.
