“The Celebration of Life” of Charles “Chuck” Nelke

Charles “Chuck” Nelke died on January 3, 2018.  He was just shy of 90 years.  We celebrated his very full and interesting life on Wednesday, Jan 10th, 2018 at St. Joseph Church.  He was buried at Calvary Cemetery in Mt. Angel alongside the “love of his life,” Lorraine, who passed away just over 3 years ago.  This year they would have been married 70 years. They are together again.
