Charlean Buckley Nelson, 100, passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 22, 2022. Charlean was a resident of Goss but most recently had been staying with her son and wife in Wilmington, NC.

Mrs. Nelson was born in Columbia on October 20, 1922.  She grew up in the Goss community. Her father died when she was very young, so she and her family worked hard on their farm to make ends meet. It didn't matter that she didn't have a lot of life's luxuries in those early years, she was surrounded by the love and laughter of her family. She could tell endless stories of the good times they had. She was a wonderful cook and everyone loved to eat at her table. She loved the Lord, serving for over 65 years as a Sunday School teacher.

Mrs. Nelson was preceded in death by her parents, Sidney Sylvest Buckley and Maggie Carlisle Buckley; husband, Glen Nelson, Jr.; daughter, Glynda Farmer; son-in-law, Thomas Farmer; brothers, CH Buckley, Rev. Porter Buckley, AL Buckley, Wellington Buckley, and Cody Buckley, Sr.; sisters, Katherine Delancey and Irene McDonald.

Survivors include daughter, Josie Conerly (Thomas) of Bunker Hill; son, Chris Nelson (Sherri) of North Carolina; grandchildren, Malinda Hall, Catherine Farmer, Kim Barnes, Kerry Foreman, Mason Nelson, Michael Nelson, and Olivia Nelson; great-grandchildren, Sydney Hall, Peyton Hall, Meredith Barnes, Jack Barnes, Sanders Barnes, Thomas Alan Foreman and Anna Claire Foreman; and a host of nieces, nephews and friends.

A service will be held on Thursday, December 29, 2022 at Goss Baptist Church. Interment will be at Society Hill Cemetery in Oakvale. In lieu of flowers memorials are requested to Goss Baptist Church, 20 Mark McArthur Drive, Columbia, MS 39429.
