Sharon Marie (Blevins) Nelson was born on October 15, 1959 in Columbus, OH to Carl Blevins and Bertie Mae Neary. She went home to be with the Lord the morning of January 28, 2025 after battling Alzheimer's for the past few years at The Vestal Park Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Vestal, NY. Sharon was the beloved wife of Donald Nelson, Sr. (Endwell, NY) of nearly 43 years; the loving mother of Carl A Blevins (deceased; wife Haley), Donald Nelson, Jr. and Pamela (Nelson) Pascale (husband Rob); adoring grandmother to Trent, Ava, Teagan, Cora, Andrew and Cade. Being one of 12 siblings, Sharon had many brother/sister-in-laws, nieces/nephews, aunts/uncles - all of whom she loved, and who loved her in return. Family meant everything to Sharon. She loved to laugh and help others whenever she could. To know her was to love her. A celebration of life will be organized for the Spring/Summer.
