Honoring Kimberly Nelson: A Beautiful Farewell

Donation protected
With heavy hearts, we share that our beloved Kimberly Deshawn Nelson, is not expected to be with us after a matter of days. She ultimately lost her battle with breast and brain cancer after fighting with incredible strength and resilience for over six years. Through every challenge, she remained a warrior—never letting her struggles define her, always putting her family and others before herself.

A proud Navy veteran, she served her country for ten years before building a career in IT at Walter Reed. Later, her compassionate nature led her to in-home healthcare, where she devoted herself to caring for her handicapped son while also raising her two other sons as a single mother. Her love knew no bounds, and her selflessness left a lasting impact on everyone who knew her.
Beyond her dedication to family and service, she was full of life and joy. She had a deep love for music—Prince was her all-time favorite artist—and her passion for the color purple earned her the beloved nickname "The Purple Princess." Christmas was her favorite holiday, a time when she found the most happiness in giving to others, a reflection of her generous heart.

As we navigate and prepare for this unimaginable loss, we want to give her the beautiful farewell she deserves. Any donation, big or small, will help ease the financial burden during this difficult time. If you’re unable to contribute, sharing this fundraiser would mean the world to us.

Thank you for your love, generosity, and support in celebrating the life of an extraordinary woman.
