Sylvia Nelson

Sylvia Nelson,  76, passed away on February 13, 2015 in Corona, California.  She was the only child of Clinton J and Ethel Culbertson Nelson.  She was born April 24, 1938.
She grew up in Pocatello and was a very special child.  She enjoyed many trips with her family to Posse Meets, Rodeos, and Chariot Races where her Father was the announcer.  They had a lot of good times in their “Winnebago” traveling throughout the West.
She was a member of the Chubbuck United Methodist Church.
She loved to visit with her family and friends and became quite a tease to her cousins.  She moved to Corona after her Mother passed away to be close to her Aunt Marion Worthen.  There she got especially close to her cousins Peggy Loveless and Tracy Flint and her family.  They celebrated many events with Sylvia and she was always included in there family get togethers.  They loved her dearly and cared for her these last years of her life.  Sylvia’s family in Pocatello appreciated the love that was shown to her.
She is survived by Her two Aunts, Rhoda Aiken, Meridian Idaho, Bertha Holcombe, Pocatello, Idaho,  her cousins Peggy Loveless, Tracy Flint, Jeaneane Huth, Beverly Daniel, JoAnne Mielenz,  Mark Holcombe, Anne Williamson and Paul Holcombe. For this is what the love of God means, that we observe his commandments; and yet his commandments are not burdensome, because everyone who has been born from God conquers the world.  And this is the conquest that has conquered the world, our faith. She was proceeded in death by her parents, grandparents and many special Aunts and Uncles.
