___ PCN FLIGHT WEST is sponsored by the Pilot Communication Network and is a service of the PCN provided for the Delta Pilot Retired family of pilot groups. Flight West was started and is maintained to accomplish two main goals. After we become aware of a colleague who has Flown West, 1. We aim to produce a “timely” notice sent to our community that allows for support and interaction from our group toward the grieving family of our friend and colleague. 2. Then, we aim to “archive” that notice on our Flown West Blogspot as a lasting accessible place of Dignity and Honor of our colleague for family legacy and posterity. Contributor contact info is generally removed before posting (unless requested otherwise).

Sharing news as was received from the Retired Northwest Airlines pilot group…………………

•Holly Nelson passed away this past weekend  <wlday@comcast.net>: Dec 17 10:08PM  

 

Dear NWA Friends and Colleagues,

 

It is my unpleasant duty to inform you that NWA Flight Attendant Holly

Nelson passed away at home in Burien, WA this past weekend. The cause of

death was 'natural causes.'

  

Holly was born Holly Elwell and grew to maturity in Minneapolis/St. Paul,

Minnesota. As a young woman Holly was known for her athletic skills. She

was hired by Northwest Airlines as a Flight Attendant and was based early in

her career at Minneapolis (MSP).

  

Holly married NWA captain David Nelson on December 31, 1977. Prior to the

wedding, Dave and Holly entered the Wine business and purchased a vineyard

in Sonoma, CA from the famed Korbel family growers.

  

David Nelson passed away on January 14, 2023.  

……………………………………..

Facebook posting from Dani Kelly:  At this time we do not have details of any planned services, but we suspect there may be some notice later and I’ll inform you at that time. We do know it was Holly’s wish to have her ashes buried along with those  of Dave’s at Tahoma National Cemetery.

Should you wish to send condolences to the family  along with fond memories of flying with Holly and Dave, they may be sent to Daves son. Rob and Debra Nelson.

Plz send PM to Dani Kelly for mailing address.
