Anna Marie Nelson, daughter of Nick and Beulah (Keith) Pool, was born January 3, 1916 at Chancellor, SD. She died peacefully at her home in Avon surrounded by her family on Thursday, July 2, 2009, after a lengthy battle with cancer. Marie attained the age of 93 years.
Marie attended rural schools at Chancellor and Sperry Country School, south of Avon through the eighth grade. She married Clayton Nelson on July 26, 1938 at Yankton. Three children were blessed to their union. They farmed in the Avon area until Clayton retired in 1986. They moved into Avon in 1987. Clayton died May 15, 1994.
Marie worked as a waitress in Omaha prior to having children. She also worked at Chicago Rawhide in Springfield after her family was out of school.
Marie was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, Ladies Aid Circle and Farmer's Union.
Marie loved to entertain and cook for family and friends. She enjoyed gardening, canning and sewed when it was necessary. Marie will be remembered for her witty humor, her fried donuts and potatoes, her canned cherries, her famous pickles and playing board games with her grandchildren.
Marie's family is thankful that they were able to lovingly care for her as she had done for them for so many years.
Thankful for having shared her life are her children: Richard and wife, Charlene of Sioux Falls; Cherilyn and husband Jerry Mudder of Avon; and Galen of Sioux Falls; seven grandchildren: Jay, Jim and Jan Mudder, Jeri Lyn Jastram, Cody Nelson, Douglas Nelson and Julie Nobles; seven great grandchildren; a brother, Darrell Pool of Sumner, WA; and many nieces and nephews.
Marie was preceded in death by her husband; grandson Scott Nelson; parents; three brothers: Kenneth, Jeff and Oscar Pool; and two sisters: Margaret Petersen and Eva Ludens.
