Marjean Kay Nelson

Marjean Kay Nelson, age 80, passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 30, 2021 at Pine Haven Care Center in Pine Island.
She was born on October 15, 1941 in Rochester, Minnesota to Milford and Berniece Moe. She had one older sister who ,sadly, died in infancy, so Marjean grew up as an only child. She was raised on the family farm in Zumbrota, where her family had dairy cows, hogs and chickens. She spent many hours playing with her cousins.
On February 25, 1961 Marjean was united in marriage to Gerald "Jerry" Nelson. This year they celebrated 60 years together. They made their home in Zumbrota and had three children, twin boys Craig and Corey and daughter Michon. Marjean worked primarily as a housewife and mother. She made the best homemade pizza and her chex mix could win a prize.
A very dedicated member of the Lands Lutheran Church, Marjean sang in the choir for many years, was a member of the worship committee and Ladies Aide. She especially enjoyed socializing with friends and having coffee, also watching the Minnesota Twins and spending time with family. Her other interests include playing golf, bowling, playing Bridge and Bunko.
She will be dearly missed.
Left to cherish her memory is her husband, Jerry; children, Corey (Patty) Nelson, Michon (Tony) Nelson; granddaughter, Amanda; and grandson, Matt.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Milford and Berniece Moe; Jerry's parents, Clifford and Edna Nelson (Owatonna); son, Craig Nelson (1999); and baby sister.
