Beatrice Belle Nelson, age 83, of Fort Walton Beach, Florida, entered into Heaven on February 6, 2009. As scripture says, (Luke 23:43) “This day you shall be with me in Paradise…” this unexpected angel knew the moment she closed her eyes to step out of her family’s arms here on earth she would open them in the next moment and walk into the loving arms of Jesus, and family and friends who had gone before her. Beatrice was born on July 16, 1925 in Prairie Township, Ohio, to Frederick Raymond and Anna May Bruce. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She loved keeping in touch with her family and friends on the telephone and reminding them how well the Ohio State Buckeyes played football. She enjoyed bowling and was an avid Pinochle player. She treasured the friendships she made while she was active in the NCO Wives Club, LWML and Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Beatrice is survived by her husband of sixty-one years, Arthur Harold Nelson of Fort Walton Beach, FL; children, Patricia (Rev. Dan) Hansard of Stony Plain, Alberta, Canada, Arthur (Jennifer Kay) of Tucson, AZ, Beverly Richards of Rogers, AR, and Frederick Nelson of Fort Walton Beach; grandchildren, Miri, Heidi, Joshua, Jessica, Arthur, Jeremy and Corey; great-grandchildren, Arthur, Nicole, Dillon, Kyliegh, Mia, Kasia, Jalen, Makenna, and Evan. She is also survived by sister, Verda; and brothers, Everett and Robert. Beatrice is preceded in death by sisiters, Florence, Louise and Nadine; brothers, Donald, Homer and Lynn.
