Nels PETERSEN
The family announces with sorrow his death in Arizona on Sunday, November 30, 2003 at the age of 73 years.
He was born in Wadena, Saskatchewan and married Iona (née
COONEY) in Sudbury in 1950.
After 25 years of service with the Region of Sudbury, Nels retired in 1989 and moved with
Iona to Manitoulin Island. There they spent summers at Cedar Eden with their 5 children
and 14 grandchildren and enjoyed winters at Cielo Grande Park, Mesa, Arizona with many Friends
and relatives. He was always happiest tending to his flower and vegetable gardens and creating
projects in his workshop. Nels was a hard worker, but took time to enjoy a round of golf, a game
of pool, a good glass of wine and he always had a song in his heart. He will be remembered as
a devoted family man and a good friend. Dear son of Peter and Elizabeth (both predeceased).
