Lois Nelson
“Granny” to all
"My beloved spoke, and said unto me,
Rise up my love, my fair one,
and come away."
Song of Solomon 2:10
Granny has gone Home to be with the Lord. She was born on February 3, 1910; born again on October 13, 1958; absent from the body and present with the Lord on January 24, 2012, 10 days before her 102nd birthday.
Granny was involved at Camp Elim from 1967 until Labor Day 1989, cooking for most of those years. She retired at age 79 but her heart remained at Camp and would have been there longer had she been physically able. Her last years were spent praying for those she knew and loved.
She leaves behind two daughters, four grandchildren and their spouses, 11 great grandchildren, 15 great great grandchildren, and one great great great grandchild.
Memorial services will be Friday, January 27, 2012, at 2:00 p.m. at Northeast Bible Chapel, 1722 McArthur Avenue, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80909.
