Elizabeth Pearl Nelson was born in Saint Louis, Missouri on November 13, 1923, to the union of William and Valleave McKinney. Both parents preceded her in death. She was a loving mother and grandmother and was very well loved by all that knew her. She was very active in her church and was very spunky, even at the young age of 102 years old! She will be truly missed by all that knew her, but God graced her with a long, beautiful, healthy life.
