Gretchen Carol Nelson Obituary
With solemn reverence, we commemorate Gretchen Carol Nelson (Alexandria, Minnesota), whose life came to an end on October 10, 2025 at the age of 88, leaving behind cherished memories. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family. You may also light a candle in honor of Gretchen Carol Nelson or send a beautiful flower arrangement to the funeral service.
As we bid Gretchen farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Gretchen is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She was loved and cherished by many people including: her parents, Wilbert Gildemeister and Alice Gildemeister (Schensted); and her husband Don Nelson.
A celebration of life will be held on Friday, October 24th 2025 at 2:00 PM at the Mount Carmel Ministries (800 Mt Carmel Dr NE, Alexandria, MN 56308).
