Kay H. Nelson (nee Fujita) of Big Bend passed away peacefully Saturday, Dec. 18, 2004, at age 83.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, William.

She is the loving mom of Dr. Nichols (Patricia) Nelson, Lorri (Dr. David) Wanserski and Sharon (Kenneth) Meloy; proud grandma of Katie, Mandy and Nick Nelson, Matthew, Michael, Michelle and Mallory Wanserski, Debbie (Peter) Reichl, Dawn (David) Bills, Diana (John) Devine and Ken (Tricia) Meloy; great-grandchildren; and dearest sister of Tamiko, Sachiko, Mieko and Osamu Fujita.

Kay retired from JH Collectibles where she was a dress and pattern maker for more than 20 years.

Kay enjoyed her retirement years, especially with her crafts which included quilting and stained glass. Kay had a generous soul and was kind to everyone. Her greatest enjoyment in life was her grandchildren.

Kay was a very peaceful woman and it was fitting that she died peacefully.
