NORFOLK, NE— Christine Nielsen of Norfolk, Nebraska passed away on June 22, 2024. She was born in Wanakena, New York on February 27, 1947, the daughter of Arthur and Kathryn (Colton) Nielsen.

A graduate of nursing school, Chris worked as a nurse in New York State. After a time, she moved to Florida, where she worked in various areas involving medicine and health care.

She lived at Madison House Assisted Living until it was necessary for her to move following heart surgery. She was welcomed at Skyview Villa Assisted Living, where she resided for nearly five years.
