Virdie Latrice Nelson, a cherished mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend, passed away on March 26, 2026. Born on June 15, 1963, Virdie lived a life marked by joy, connection, and a vibrant spirit that touched all who knew her.
Virdie was known for her outgoing personality and her love of dance. She embraced the simple pleasures of life, particularly relishing the company of her family and the moments spent together sharing laughter and creating memories. Her heart was especially devoted to her role as a grandmother, a responsibility she held dear—often fondly referred to as "nana duty," which brought immense joy and fulfillment to her life.
She will be remembered for her warm and lively nature, her ability to bring people together, and her unwavering dedication to those she loved. Her presence was a source of light and happiness, and her spirit will continue to glow in the hearts of family and friends.
