Willie Nelson Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 25, 2017.

Willie Ann Davis Nelson was called to her heavenly home on November 24, 2017. She lived an amazing, blessed 100 years. Willie Ann was born on December 31, 1916 in Sachse. She was the great-granddaughter of William Sachse, the town's founder. She is survived by daughter, Marci Nelson Griffith and grandsons Taylor Jennings Griffith and Trace Davis Griffith. Willie Ann was the devoted wife of Woodrow Taylor Nelson who preceded her in death. Her passion for serving others was evident in her work at Collin County Committee on Aging, managing the Meals on Wheels service. Working there until 92 years old, she found much joy and many friends. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to First Christian Church of Plano, Collin County Committee on Aging, Meals on Wheels, Lifeway Hospice.
