TOMMIE NELSON Obituary

TOMMIE LOUISE NELSON Tommie Louise Nelson, 73, of Addy, Washington passed away on February 4, 2016 in Richland, Washington surrounded by her family.

She was known by many for her love of the boat races. She enjoyed sewing and crocheting, it was very rarely that you would ever see her sitting and not crocheting.

She was a strong and determined woman and will be deeply missed. She was preceded in death by her father Earl Warren. She is survived by her husband Sonny Nelson, mother Pat Warren, brother Bill Warren and wife Sue, son Anthony R. Martinolich, son Dominic A. Martinolich Sr. and wife Missy, daughter Tommie M.

We had the pleasure of meeting Tommie at Ft. Spokane Campground in June 2007 and have been friends since that time. She was a sweet lady and talented crocheter and seamstress. She will be missed by all who knew her.
