Mrs. Miller was born Oct. 7, 1908. She was the daughter of the late Samuel and Maude Armentrout Chapman.
She grew up in Keezletown and graduated from Keezletown High School. Furthering her education, she later graduated from Shenandoah College with a degree in music education. Upon graduating from Shenandoah College, she went on to attend the Normal School for Women, which later turned into Madison College, otherwise James Madison University.
During her career, she taught over 300 students, some of which went to Keezletown Elementary. Her love for music kept her teaching out of her home until the age of 95.
She was united in marriage on June 13, 1929, to Lynwood Miller, who preceded her in death. With 30 years of marriage, there were no children. Nelson was loved and cared for by her long life and devoted friend, Dorothy K. Sites, who survives. Also surviving are close friends, Randy Sites and wife, Janet, and Maynard Sites, all of Keezletown. They were dedicated to helping with the care of Nelson as well as her farm.
She attended Keezletown United Methodist Church, where she taught Sunday school and was also the organist for many years. Nelson's lifetime was spent living in Keezletown, where she eventually became the Grand Marshall in the 1994 parade. She resided at and eventually ran the family farm, since the age of 12. Her consistent love for her animals showed true by the special names given to her geese, goats, cats, and cattle. Just days before she passed, Nelson carefully took note of her cattle. Her genuine legacy to the Keezletown area will always be present to those who knew her.
The funeral service will be held 11 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 28, 2012, at the Keezletown United Methodist Church with the Rev. William M. Finley III of Blacksburg and the Rev. James Harris of Bridgewater officiating.
