James (Jim) Nelson, Woodville… age 93, passed away peacefully at home on December 1, 2025.  Jim was a WWOA life member.

Jim proudly served in the United States Navy, and throughout his life he often shared stories of his adventures. After his service in the Navy, he completed his degree at Stout State University. He retired from 3M. Endlessly curious and naturally talented with his hands, Jim could fix just about anything. He will be lovingly remembered for his generous spirit, his boundless curiosity, and the kindness and knowledge he shared so freely with others. He was always ready to help, offering his time and skills to anyone in need. His deep faith in God was the cornerstone of his life, made evident by his commitment to his family and community.
