Tammy Weston Nelson 1961-2016

Tamara Weston Nelson 55, passed away peacefully in her home July 29, 2016 in the arms of her loved ones- her husband, children and grandchildren.

Tamara was born in Montpelier, ID on June 21, 1961 to Joseph and Arlene Weston. June 21st is very fitting for her birth as it is the summer equinox- the longest day of the year and mom lived every day to the fullest. She married her sweetheart, Brad Nelson, December 18, 1980 and they were blessed with 5 children.

Tamara loved spending time outdoors hiking, running, and camping, and her favorite memories were those with her husband and children. Everyone who knew Tamara, knew of her strength and perseverance which shined through as she faithfully endured stage IV colon cancer for 7 years. She ran a good race, fought a good fight, and amid all of this, she was always looking for ways to serve and bless the lives of others.

Tamara is survived by her loving husband Brad Lester Nelson, 3 sons and 2 daughters, Tyler & Ashley Nelson of Layton, Utah, BJ & Shandee Nelson of Iowa City, Iowa, Trevor & Katie Nelson of Iowa City, Iowa, Talina & Derek Labrum of Pocatello, Idaho, and Brookayla Nelson of Nibley, Utah, as well as her soon to be 10 grandchildren.

Surviving Parents, Joseph & Renate Weston, and 3 surviving brothers, Ted & Raegene Weston, Max & Shirlynn Weston, and Hal & Pam Weston.

Tamara was preceded in death by her mother, Arlene Beck Weston, Grandpa Maurice Beck, Grandma Virgina Beck, Grandpa Lorin Weston, and Grandma Hazel Weston.

A viewing will be held at the Nelson residence 4865 S. Hollow Road in Nibley, Utah on Wednesday, August 3 from 6pm- 8pm. 

Funeral services to honor and celebrate Tamara’s life will be held on Thursday, August 4, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. at the LDS Church 3650 S 450 W Nibley, UT (viewing from 9:30-10:30 a.m.). Burial services will immediately follow the funeral in Fish Haven, ID.
