Lois Ann Nelson

Stoughton - Lois A Nelson, age 86, went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on Sat. April 6, 2024, with her husband by her side.  Lois was the daughter of Elwood & Ione (Busch) Broughton.  She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.  Lois is survived by her husband Jerome (Jerry) of 68.5 years; daughter Kristin (Ron) Kittleson; son Eric (Cindy) Nelson; daughter Tinamarie (Hardy) Nelson-Krueger; 9 grandchildren – Nicole (Zac), Megan (Kevin), Cameron (Sarah), Betsy (Dennis), Cire (Mike), Tessa (Joey), Chanley (Nathan), Collin (Jean), Hanah (Adrian); 30 great-grandchildren – Cal, Ty, Cooper, Elle, Liam, Brooklyn, Olive, Nolan, Sylvia, Charles, Brayden, Lyla, Olin, Ava, Harvey, Vivian, Koby, Aurelia, Elsie, Theodore, Margot, Augustine, Levi, Brynnlee, Aeris, Abel, Cosmo, Arrow, Etta, and Baby Neigum who is yet to enter the world; sister Sharon (Al) Goodell; as well as many nieces, nephews and extended family. She was proceeded in death by her parents and brother James.

In high school she had a dream that she was going to meet Jerry specifically, when she saw him at school she went up to him and introduced herself, they were together pretty much ever since.  They got married on September 17, 1955 and started the close family legacy that exists today and for generations to come. Getting the family together, seeing her grandchildren and great-grandchildren was very important to her.   She was never shy to talk to anyone, especially children and their parents.  Lois was a devout Christian and would try to spread God’s word the best that she could. Lois and Jerry were very active in their Church, here and in Florida.  Lois will be deeply missed by all who knew her.  Our lives will be forever changed, but our memories of her will bring great joy.

Visitation from 9 am until the Celebration of Life Service at 11 am will be held on Monday April 29, 2024, at LakeView Church, 2200 Lincoln Ave, Stoughton.   A private burial will take place later.

Lois’ family would like to extend their gratitude to the First Responders of Stoughton, Stoughton Hospital staff, LakeView Church, and Inkworks for their help and generosity.
