Connie Nelson Obituary
Connie's infectious smile and laughter brought light to all who knew her. An avid bowler, she cherished the friendships and competition found in her bowling league. A devoted sports fan, she never missed a chance to support the Brewers and the Green Bay Packers. Above all, Connie was dedicated to her family, finding immense joy in the company of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
She is survived by her husband, David; children, Todd Nelson, Dawn Kreuger (Al), Jodi Nelson, and Guy Nelson; grandchildren, Daniel Kreuger, Paige Ehlen (Luke), Sloane Packard, and Taylor Packard; great-grandchildren, Rose and Ella Ehlen; and her sister, Sharon Harrington. Connie also leaves behind many loving nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Mabel and Eldon Hartwig; brothers, Denny and Larry Hartwig; and nephew, Jade Harrington.
Connie's life was a testament to the power of joy and the importance of family. Her legacy of warmth and cheerfulness will be cherished and remembered by all who knew her.
"Mom, is now in the Lord Jesus hands, will see you soon, Connie" Love, Dave

Growing up I spent a lot of time around Connie. Jodi and I were childhood friends and we had many sleepovers at her home She always had a smile and always looked so beautiful no matter where she was going (even if it was just to the grocery store). Can´t forget her corn casserole. So many good memories of her. She will be missed.
