Show j . Brittney Nicole Nelson CANNONVILLE Brittney Nicole Nelson, daughter of Mark and Loni Nelson, blessed this earth with her arrival on Dec. 28, 1983. She returned to her Heavenly Father on Oct. 11, 1999. Nicole brought with her the sort of spirit and outgoing personality that affected everyone she was in contact with. Her smile was contagious conta-gious and her zest for living brought to her the love and admiration admira-tion of her family and peers. Nicole was an active member of the LDS Church and was a member of her Young Women's church group. As a sophomore at Bryce Valley High School, Nicole's school spirit was evident through her participation participa-tion in numberous school activities. activi-ties. Nicole was active in volleyball, volley-ball, cheerleading, and drill team. Though she loved all of these things, her true passion was horseback horse-back riding, which she competed in successfully for the past six years. Nicole rode in local rodeos as well as others in surrounding areas, every weekend that she possibly could. Barrel racing was her favorite favor-ite event, and she excelled in it, as she did everything else she loved to do. Her time with us was sort, but she made the most of it by living her life as i every day were her last. She let nothing stand in the way of doing the things that she loved. She did not mind getting up at 4 a.m. to feed her horses, get to drill team practice, go to schoool, go to volleyball, and cheerleading practice. prac-tice. Nicole's life exemplifies the age-old adage that it is not how long you live, but how well you live, and take advantage of all that life has to offer. Through all of this, we hope that everyone who knew Nicole will help us celebrate her life, and reflect on how she touched our lives. Nicole is survived by her par-; par-; ents, Mark and Loni Nelson; sis-I sis-I ters: Gina Marie, Ashley Morgan, and Taylor Ray; grandparents: Maria Arnold, Eugene Arnold, and Bill and Bonnie Nelson; aunts: June Ann (Jim Miller, Marie (Brett) Merchant, Jolene (Clint) Pollock; uncles: Jack (Gaye) Nelson, Gene, David (Cassandra), and Robert Arnold.
