From this blessed union, two children were born; Deborah Lea (Nelson) Thomas(1956) and Douglas Ray Nelson (1959). LaDonna's adult life reflected the work ethic and "family first" values that were instilled in her. While attending to her young children after settling on the Nelson family farm, she somehow managed to feed wheat harvesters, run a combine, feed various kinds of livestock and sew everything from children's clothes on up through prom dresses and wedding suits, among countless other things. During all of the love, devotion and time required to be a mother and help-mate to her husband, she also commuted to Marymount College in Salina, to complete her Elementary Education degree. She was a grade school teacher at USD 298 in Lincoln for many years and then, some years later pursued and was awarded her Master of Science degree in Library Science from Fort Hays State University. Her total years in the education field were 32. Through the years, she also continued to be active in the Sylvan Lions Club, The Presbyterian Church and especially the Western Swing Music Society of the Southwest. Survivors: husband Larry R.
