Charlotte Jeanette (Brown) Nansel was born Oct 11 1937 in Hoagland, Logan Co, Nebraska. She was the second child of Alma Loren Brown and Gladys Fern Rockwell. In her senior year of high school, she contracted polio. On September 19th, 1956, she wed Loyd Kenneth Nansel, who was born March 16th 1932. He had just returned from the Korean War. To them were born five children: Lois, Lori, Linda, Kent and Kirk. Kent died in infancy. They resided on the farm place 8 or 9 miles west of Arnold until 2008 when they moved in to their retirement home in Arnold. The house was built especially for Charlotte by my dad. In January 2011, Charlotte started to fail. By Febuary 17th, She went to see her savior. Grandma was the best cook there ever was and she passed that on to my mom, who has passed that wonderful trait on to me. I'll meet you in heaven some day, Grandma.
