Nelda was a sweet lady and very special to her family. She loved the Lord; you could tell by the way she lived her life and her loud and proud singing at Westside Church. She enjoyed playing cards and watching her sports on TV. She loved the Iowa Hawkeyes, Chicago Cubs, and her grandson made her be a Packers fan so he could have someone to cheer with him. Nothing brought a smile to her face faster than talking about or seeing her grandkids or great-grandkids. Her nick name was GOAT, Greatest Of All Time.

Surviving members of the family include - a Daughter: Connie (David) Anderson; a Son: Mark (Jennifer) Villinis all of Davenport; a Sister: Janice (Russell) Krentz of Cedar Rapids; 3 Grandchildren; 5 Great-Grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, a sister Jeanette, and a brother Donald.
