Youngstown A homecoming celebration in honor of Deacon Georgia Mae Nelson will be held on Saturday, February 11, 2023 at 10 a.m. at the Tabernacle Baptist Church at 707 Tabernacle Blvd in Youngstown, OH. Deaconess Nelson left this life on February 4, 2023 in Youngstown, OH. Mrs. Nelson was born on October 30, 1931 in Pine Bluff, Arkansas to the late Russell Thomas Sr. and Golena Scott Thomas. She moved to Youngstown, Ohio with her husband Earlean Nelson to raise a loving family. In the 1970s she worked at Northside Hospital as a kitchen hand. Georgia and Earlean have been married for 67 years and welcomed four beautiful children into this world. She was a staunch member of Tabernacle Baptist Church, where she served for many years as a deaconess and on the senior ministers’ board. Knowing her is knowing her love for the Lord and for her family. She was best known as a caring, kind woman with a humble spirit and she never met a stranger. She loved going to bingo and being with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a dedicated wife, mother, sister and friend who will be greatly missed. Their love and legacy will live on through their children Sylvester and Ladonna (Tubbs) Nelson of Youngstown, OH, Sandra and Anthony Stringer of Blue Springs, MO, Earlee and Paula Nelson of Colorado Springs, CO; son-in-law William Cheirs of Kansas City, MO; her two sisters Everlena Thomas, Carolyn Edwards; eight grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; and a host of other relatives and friends. Her parents preceded her in death; her husband; her daughter Freddie Cheirs; a sister, Bobbie Marshall; 7 brothers, Albert, Leo, Russell, Cleo, Eottis, Nathaniel and Veottis Thomas. The family welcomes friends to the church on Saturday, February 11, 2023 from 9-10 a.m. Send flowers to Georgia Mae Nelson ministry
