Marjorie Nelson passed away on October 13, 2020 in Kennewick, WA. She was born on March 6, 1925 in Uniontown, WA to Albert and Eleanor Brado. Marjorie joined two brothers, Marvin and Howard, to complete the family.
Marjorie graduated from Grand Coulee High School in 1942, attended the University of Washington, and went to work for the Bureau of Reclamation in Coulee Dam. There she met Thomas Sigurdson. They married and settled in Richland, but Marjorie tragically lost him shortly into their marriage.

While working for General Electric, she met H. Marvin Nelson. Marjorie and Marvin were married on November 23, 1951, spent the next 61 years together, and raised two children; a son, Tim and a daughter, Linda.
