Kenneth Wayne Nelson

Services for Kenneth Wayne Nelson will be 2 p.m. Thursday, March 6, 
2003 at the Free Holiness Church in Chelsea. Rev. Richard Hubbard will 
officiate. Burial will follow at Chelsea Cemetery under the direction 
of Rice Funeral Service.

Kenneth passed away on Sunday, March 2, 2003. He was 56.

Friends may visit from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday at the funeral home 
and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday at the church in Chelsea.

A longtime Chelsea resident, Kenneth was born in this community on 
March 5, 1946 to Lewey Jr. and Ivon Wilson Nelson. He graduated from 
Chelsea High School with the class of 1964 and went on to electrical 
training school through Electrical Union #584. On April 4, 1969, Kenneth 
married Chelsea schoolmate Liz Johnston in a Miami ceremony. They made 
their home in Claremore for 12 years before returning to Chelsea. This 
union was blessed with the birth of one daughter, Kristie, the light of 
her dad's life.

Kenneth and Liz were both motorcycle enthusiasts and made many cross-
country trips on their bikes. They were members of the Gold Wing Road 
Riders Association. He also was fond of woodworking and leather crafts 
and had a first-rate shop in his home. His first interest, however, was 
the welfare and happiness of his girls. He always put them first, a 
quality he inherited from his caring and devoted mother.

Those who survive this good and loving man, wonderful husband and father 
are his wife, Liz Nelson of their home in Chelsea; daughter, Kristie Nelson, 
also of Chelsea; mother, Ivon Nelson of Chelsea; brothers, Robert Lee Nelson 
and his wife, Zella, also of Chelsea and Johnny Nelson and his wife, Jackie 
of Claremore; sister, Jerri Bowen and her husband, Frank of Tulsa; nieces 
and nephews and great-nieces and nephews. 

He was preceded in death by his father.
