Beatrice Nelson, 94, of Chapmanville, WV, formerly of Verdunville, WV, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, April 14, 2023, leaving from Logan Regional Medical Center at Logan, WV.
She was born May 24, 1928, at Castlewood, VA, a daughter of the late Doc and Hersey Williams.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Edward Nelson; one son, Kenneth Nelson; and one son-in-law, John McCormick.
Beatrice was a devoted Christian and a faithful member of the Maryetta United Baptist Church at Verdunville, WV. She enjoyed many things in life, but she especially enjoyed cooking and baking. Because baking was her favorite culinary activity, she spent a major part of her time baking goodies for the Logan Detachment of the WVSP, where her late son-in-law, John, was employed. A loving daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, Beatrice was very devoted to her family.
Those left to cherish her memory include her daughter, Deloris “Dee” McCormick of Chapmanville, WV; two grandsons, Hunter (Emily) Nelson and Chad (Megan) Boytek; one granddaughter, Staci (Toni) Peluso; one brother, Tommy Williams; three sisters, Gaye Damron, Ann Starr, and Brenda (Curt) Salyers; special cousins, Vernon Elkins, Barry Elkins, and Greg Johnson; and one special friend, June Proklevich. Additionally, Beatrice leaves behind many nieces and nephews along with a host of other dear relatives and friends.
