Reta Richman Nelson (1920-2010) and Paul Cazier Nelson (1921-2000)

Reta Richman & Paul Nelson

Reta Richman was born October 14, 1920 in Paradise, Utah, to Leon Sinfield Richman and Boston Obray Thomas. She was blessed by W. N. Thomas (her great grandfather) on December 5, 1920. She was baptized June 18, 1929 in the Logan Temple by Jos. E. Jorgensen and confirmed by James F. Hansen the same day. She married Paul Cazier Nelson on July 23, 1940 in the Logan Temple.

She was employed at the Baron Woolen Mills and later at the Box Elder County Courthouse. She was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where she served in various callings throughout her life. She loved her family dearly. Her humor was larger than her tiny stature.

Reta Richman and Paul Cazier Nelson are the parents of three children: Michael Paul Nelson, Diane Nelson, and Donna Lynn Nelson.
