Lisa Nelson

Lisa M. Nelson of Dennison, died Monday, June 22, 2020, in Cleveland Clinic Union Hospital at Dover following a sudden illness.

Born at Dover, Ohio, Lisa was a daughter of the late Raymond Anthony and Viona Mae (Baughman) Nelson.

Lisa was a graduate of Claymont High School and formerly worked at First National Bank of Dennison and Directions Credit Union. For the past 13 years, Lisa has been employed as a Cashier for Ferris Chevrolet at New Philadelphia.

She loved her family, hosting cookouts, following the New England Patriots, the Ohio State Buckeyes and NASCAR. She was always one to put others before herself but lived a joyful, independent life. She also adored animals and caring for the wildlife around her home and making her nightly phone calls to her family and friends.

She will be deeply missed by the love of her life, Jeff Jackson; her sisters, Deb Byers and Holly Nelson and a brother and sister-in-law, Ron and Jill McQuerrey.

In addition to her parents, Lisa was preceded in death by a brother, Ray Nelson and a brother-in-law, Bill Byers.
