Sweet Lila Coleman Nelson!!!!!! My dear Aunt!!!! Love you!!

Lila J. Coleman Nelson 1935 ~ 2011 Lila J. Coleman Nelson was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on December 17, 1935 to Weldon Coleman and Selma Peterson Coleman. She was the only daughter with six brothers: Robert (Marilyn), Leon (Jean), Donald (Mary Ann), David (deceased, infant), Philip (Donna), Richard (Charlene).She spent her early years in Cedar City, Richmond and Idaho Falls, but grew up in Salt Lake City. She graduated from South High in 1954 and attended the University of Utah where she met Keith C. Nelson. They were married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on February 19, 1960. She was a diligent person and from the time she was a young girl she often did babysitting and collected money for her brother's paper route. Later she worked for several small food businesses. Her years of learning shorthand gave her many work opportunities over the years, the last at Davis School District. She learned to sew and made many of her own clothes as a youth. She enjoyed reading and giving book reviews over many years on different occasions to youth groups. Her involvements included being ward and stake Young Women's President, Relief Society President, President of the PTA, Chairman over the Art Show for Bountiful Handcart Days, president and member of a book club and Bountiful Temple worker. Her main love and interest was her family. Children included Kent (Barbara) Norman, Christine Beeton (Dan), and Glen (Carla). She always had the time to talk and listen to them when they wanted. She never had a bad word to say about anyone and was known as a gracious, lovely, elegant lady. She was always positive about the world around her.

Our Flood Watch

We have been under a flood watch for the last week. We have a park right by our house that we go to often. There is a major river that runs through it!! This top pix with Porter usually has no water and is just a beachy area.
