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.
