<p>Started biography</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Edna Lois Nelson was born November 4th, 1928, to John William Nelson and Electa Coltrin.<br /> <br /> Her mother was very overprotective of her, and she spent her entire life never living on her own., and she never married<br /> <br /> She had quite a few hobbies that she used to fill her time, including crocheting, doing crosswords and other puzzles, and reading the paper, as well as watching TV.<br /> <br /> She was a sport statistics fanatic, and could rattle off name and dates concerning football.<br /> <br /> In about ____, she contracted breast cancer and had to have a unilateral mastectomy.<br /> <br /> She passed away February 20th, 1993.<br /> <br /> == Personal Memories/Anecdotes ==<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;John Elliott&#039;&#039;&#039; <br /> <br /> * I remember her as a constant presence on our trips to Mathis as a child. After her mastectomy, my dad had a talk with me in the car on the way to their house concerning it, and explaining to me in a way I could understand what happened, and that I needed to be sure not to stare. At that point I don&#039;t think his telling me about it made a difference, except that it made me aware of a condition I probably would have been oblivious to in the first place. Where I likely would have not noticed anything, I instead spent that visit stealing glances from across the room or around the corner, when I thought no one could see me, trying to figure out which breast had been removed. In the end, the clothing she wore made it so I couldn&#039;t tell anything was different.<br /> * Aunt Edna made me a clown throw rug when I was a child, that had a 3D head. I have seen one photo in the family collection of it - I&#039;m almost sure it was a Christmas present. I got rid of it in my early teens, during a &quot;throwing away childish things&quot; purges. I so wish I still had it. <br /> * I had my own phone line in my room when Aunt Edna died. My phone rang the morning of February 21st, 1993 - it was my grandmother on the line. My first thought was that she was calling to wish me a happy birthday, but she had forgotten the date, as my birthday was on the 22nd. Instead she had forgotten/didn&#039;t have the main home phone number, and thought my number was the main number for the house. Very strange having to let my dad know he had a phone call in my room. I never did get a happy birthday greeting from her that year. <br /> <br /> == Links ==</div>
