Helen Marie Nelson was born on December 7, 1926, in Stockport, Iowa to Frank Morey and Lena Carter Clark. She attended country school and graduated from Stockport High School. While in school she met the love of her life, George Nelson. George was drafted into the Army and returned home after basic training to marry Helen and begin their life together as husband and wife. Helen traveled to Dayton, Ohio where George was stationed. While there she began working at the hospital. It was clear that her caring heart and loving personality made her a perfect fit at caring for those in need. Helen and George returned to Stockport after his honorable discharge and began their family. The two became loving parents of five children: David, Danny, Patricia, Debbie, and Frank. Helen cared for things at home and worked at the Stockport Nursing Home until its closing. She then was a dedicated employee for many years at the Van Buren County Hospital in Keosauqua, Iowa, as well as several nursing homes in Fairfield, Iowa. In 1976, the family moved to Birmingham, Iowa and she would remain there until her health would no longer allow her to. After her retirement from the hospital, Helen remained active by opening a daycare out of her home. When she was not helping others she enjoyed reading, crocheting, and putting together puzzles. Helen would always try and take a trip every year and enjoyed going on trips and out for meals with her siblings. Helen's life was dedicated to the service of others. She always found comfort in her family and especially enjoyed time spent with her grandchildren. She will be missed by her family and her many friends. Helen was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, George David Nelson; one son, David Nelson; a grandson, Timothy Nelson; a great grandson, Milo Nelson; two sisters, Shirley Wallace and Betty Wallace; five brothers-in-law, John Wallace, Vern Tedrow, Don Wallace, Merlin Foreman, and Jim Johnson, and a sister-in-law, Nielsine Johnson.
