Virginia Ann "Ginny" Nelson, 85, of Richmond, Va., died on Thursday,
September 30, 2021, surrounded by her family. Born on November 11,
1935, in New York, she earned her bachelor's degree from Maryville
College. She retired from a 20 plus year career as an administrator
at River Road Presbyterian Church. Her example as a Christian, a wife
and a mother will have a lasting impact on her loving family. She was
an avid gardener and enjoyed all of God's creations, especially dogs.
She was active in many churches/communities in her lifetime and was a
key leader in her time at Zion Christian Church in Beaverdam where she
was instrumental in the creation of the Western Hanover Emergency
Action Team ("WHEAT") whose mission was to serve the people of Western Hanover in times of need. WHEAT has grown tremendously and continues to thrive today.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Warren John ("Bud") Nelson; and her sister, Dorothy Sedat (Eddie). She is survived by her three children, Debbie (Jerry), Richard (Cheryl) and Robin (Brian); six
grandchildren, Adam and Corey Stroop, Daniel and Carrie Nelson, Kayla
Pruett (Josh), Holly Carlton; and her sister, Marjorie Rogers.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers,
memorial contributions may be made to WHEAT. P.O. Box 171, Beaverdam, VA 23015 or the Galactosemia Foundation, 350 Northern Blvd, STE 324-1079, Albany, NY 12204-1000.
