Obituary of Ann C. Nelson

(ALBION)

Ann worked as a substitute teacher and tutor for several years.  She enjoyed swimming, reading, watching Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune on TV, and loved to be outside, especially sitting on her deck in the sun or on the beach by the ocean.  Her greatest joy however, was having her family around and watching them swim and interact with each other.
