It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Marguerite Sherran Nelson, who peacefully passed away surrounded by family on September 27th, 2023, at the age of 79. She was born on October 24th, 1943, and was the beloved wife of the late Larry Nelson and the mother of the late Cheryl Nelson.

Marguerite’s life was one filled with love, resilience, and unwavering strength. She was a devoted mother to her surviving son, Lawrence (Susan), and loving grandmother to Sandra (Joel) and Nicole.
