Nelson, 93, went to be with her Lord and Savior on October 10, 2014, while surrounded by her family. She was born to Charles and Annetta Osborne in Waterville, WA on November 24, 1920. She was one of six children and her childhood was filled with family outings, gardening, fishing trips to beloved Lake Chelan, cousin visits to the Colockum, piano lessons, swimming, skiing on Badger Mountain, school and church activities. Virginia was always an excellent student, loved to read and had a passion for writing. At age 14, she began keeping a diary of daily happenings and activities - a practice she kept for 80 years. She became the family “historian!” On October 27, 1942, she married Ward Nelson, just prior to his three year WWII assignment overseas. Upon his return, Ward and Virginia established Nelson’s Dry Goods, which Virginia operated, becoming a woman ahead of her time. The small business had a little of everything… from tennis shoes to baby items, men’s overalls to women’s clothing, and anything needed for sewing. Virginia was truly a “personal shopper” to many people. She kept track of gifts purchased for showers, weddings, and what people “wished for”, and on Christmas Eve, many men in the community would come in to find that Virginia had their gifts already set aside and festively wrapped. Nelson’s Dry Goods was an important part of the Waterville business community for 36 years. Virginia was an integral part of the community, participating in numerous local organizations: Chamber of Commerce, Rebekkah, Eastern Star, Federated Church Guild and Choir, and the Badger Mountain Ski Club. In 1978, Virginia joined several local businessmen to establish Midstate Bank. She was the only woman charter director, and served until she retired in 1982. Ward and Virginia raised two girls; Vickie and Noreen, who graduated from the University of Washington in Nursing and Business, respectively. While Noreen was living in Germany, Virginia was able to make two trips to Europe… treasured memories for her. Virginia was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Annetta Osborne; brothers, Roy and Artie; and husband, Ward Nelson. After the death of her husband in 2005, she moved from the house that Ward had built for them in 1956, to the Wenatchee Valley to be closer to her family. She is survived by her daughters, Vickie (Chuck) Hammond of East Wenatchee and Noreen (Mark) Schedler of Seattle, WA; five grandchildren, Kurt (Leah) Hammond, Bret Hammond, Minda (Derek) Bergan, Megan (Dan) Cook and Erin (Kevin) Schedler; and eight great-grandchildren, Grace and Madeline Hammond, Zachary and Joshua Hammond, Riley, Drew, and Emma Bergan, and Owen Schedler. She is also survived by her sisters, Elsie Tittle, Alice Marney and Mable Knowles. She was a most beloved Mother, Nana, and GranNana. She was always exemplary in her kindness, compassion, and grace, in whatever life presented. A Service will take place Saturday, October 18, 2014, at 1:30 p.m. at the Waterville Federated Church. Donations/memorials may be made to the Waterville Badger Mountain Ski Club, Waterville Swimming Pool, or Waterville Federated Church.
