Lois A. Nelson Memorial Scholarship Fund

(Established 2011)

Lois A. Nelson


This fund was created by the family of Lois Nelson at the time of her passing.

Scholarships from the fund are reserved for students graduating from East Aurora or West Aurora High School.

Lois A. Nelson (1932-2011) was born on February 19, 1932 in Northbrook, Illinois.

She was a graduate of the East Aurora High School Class of 1950.

Mrs. Nelson served as a secretary at Todd and Greenman Elementary Schools in West Aurora School District 129.

In addition, she was a parishioner of St. Rita of Cascia Church for fifty-three years.

Mrs. Nelson was preceded in death by her husband of fifty-two years, Wayne Nelson.  They were parents of six children.

According to her children, “Our mother has always had a generous spirit, so in lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be directed to the Community Foundation of Fox Valley in her name to fund scholarships for the continued education of students in need who have graduated from East or West Aurora High School.

On any given day our mom and grandmother was going to bridge, knitting club, PEO or to the opera. We are grateful that she was able to continue her love of life until very recently. To know her was to love her!”
