Our families grew close from attending as children, St. Andrew A.M.E. Zion Church, when it was located @ 2933 w. 25th Ave., under the Pastorship of the late Rev. Sylvester Norman and later the late Rev. Thomas Dickerson. Though I knew who I was talking to when I faced them, I ALWAYS got their names mixed up...I'd called Irma, Elma and Elma, Irma. They always had to correct me and in time seeing their expressions...I got it right! I have nothing but meek and delightful memories of Irma, never to forget her sweet smile. Together we were in several organizations and choirs starting from a child, to teen, to youth...all the way to young adult and later adult. My heart was deeply sadden to hear of her passing and now...she's safe in the arms of Jesus. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend any of the services due to suffering from a bout w/ COVID-19, but in spite of my absence, know that you are thought of and you are in my heart and prayers not only during this your sad hour of bereavement but always. To the entire family.... Trust in the Lord w/ ALL thine heart, lean not unto thine own understanding, (what we think, what we want, what we wish, what we hope, what we desire).... In ALL thy ways acknowledge Him and I am a witness, HE WILL, HE WILL, ....HE WILL direct thy path. On the behalf of the family of the late Thetta Mae Daniels Dent (Ms. Thetta), we lift up your names in prayer, we speak for you, healing and strength..for He will never leave nor forsake you.....Be assured that,..... He is with you ALWAYS...God Bless. CarrollE. LynnE. Mitchell

To beloved Irma Nelson; RIP and to the entire Nelson family, I send my heartfelt condolence, sympathy and prayers to you. When I was told Irma made her transition, my heart was sad, but I also smiled, because I knew deep inside, that you had gotten your freedom from the pain. To the family once again, Earth has no sorrow that our Creator cannot heal. Rest in Peace Irma! Rise in victory!

I first made the acquaintance of Irma, an enjoyable person with a big laugh, in high school. Her sister Elma was my classmate but little did either of us know that we'd eventually have a family relationship when her youngest brother married my sister. Whenever I'd run into Irma and her mother out shopping Irma remained the same, kind and friendly. So to Eric, Elma, Pastor Willie, Deborah, and D'Angelo, Irma has made her call and election sure. May you always cherish her memory.

Sis. Irma was such a loving and compassionate woman. She always put others before herself. When she probably needed encouragement she was encouraging and uplifting others. Her laugh and smile was infectious... you couldn’t help but to reciprocate the happiness back to her. She was such a joy to be around because she kept it real and I lived that about her. Sis. Irma will be greatly missed and we would like the family (Pastor, D’Angelo, Kendra and all other family members) to know that you all are in our prayers. Praying for strength, comfort and peace.

My Sister-in-Law had an infectious laugh and an even bigger personality that just filled any room she was in. She knew the Lord and professed her belief in Him. She never ended a call until she said, "I love you" and the response was, "I love you too, Irma." Now, you are basking in the love of Our Father. Rest In Paradise.
To my husband and family, after the tears have dried and the goodbyes have been said, remember that we will all hold onto the many memories of Irma and keep her alive in our hearts and minds. Deirdre
