The time has come for me to embark on my final journey and I didn’t have to pack.
Thank you to my parents Francis Carl Nelson and Myrtle Ellen Ashliman for bringing me into their family on October 31, 1933. Their lessons of wisdom are still profound today. “Sometime in your life you will go on a journey. It will be the longest journey you have taken. It is the journey to find yourself.” I was the 7th of 12 children. Thank you, family, for being the love that grounds us and gives us the hope of being together forever.
I graduated from South High School, Class of ’51 and have many degrees from the school of hard knocks.
Married Stanley H. Chambers, September 1, 1951. From this union came 5 incredible children. Kevin (deceased), Susan, Lisa, Pati and Dennis. From our children came 15 Grandchildren, 24 Great Grandchildren and 1 Great-Great Grandchild. As they became parents and grandparents, they allowed me to become the child.
Thank you to all of those who encouraged me to volunteer, feeding the homeless on Thanksgiving, Stake Drama Director, Cultural Refinement Instructor, PTA President, Hospice and ushering for the “Grand Ole Opry.”
Thank you for all the “teams” I worked with at the Sta-Well Health Store, weddings and catering at Memorial House, Memory Grove, Metz Baking Company. decorating Christmas trees, Center for the Arts, 2002 Olympics, breakfast at Lakeside Village.
Thank you to all who nominated me for the “Manchester Who’s who among Executive and Professional Women” 2006 ~ 2007.
I had an insatiable appetite for the adventure of life and travel was a big part of it. So, for over 40 years and 5 passports, I fulfilled my dreams.
It takes years to birth a dream, it includes a home, family, career, and lifestyle. Dreams also cost money, sweat, tears, frustration, courage, choices, perseverance, and patience. The ingredient that binds it all together is love.
As one journey ends another begins. I hope all of you enjoy your journey as much as I have treasured mine. Thank you for being a part of it~
Love ya!
Margaret
