Rosa Lee Nelson,
mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother went to her
rest after 93 well lived years on this Earth. She loved puppies and babies and
big pots of stew. She could eat more crab legs than three grown men and had

and the life of the party at any gathering. We will always miss her thoughtful
cards, Facebook participation, hilarious voicemails and unusual Christmas
gifts. She was a strong, adaptable woman who kept up with the times, loved the
Lord and has left a lasting legacy in her children and their families.
