Anna Karin Nelson

Surrounded by books in her family’s bookstore, Anna became an avid reader. She developed a keen interest in Science that resulted in many school awards. After graduating in 1975 from the Lulea University of Technology with a Master’s Degree in Geology, she worked for Statoil in Stavanger, Norway.

Later, while working in onshore and offshore exploration for Mobil Corporation in the North Sea, Anna met Eric Bruce Nelson. They married and traveled to the United States to complete a short assignment. Upon return to Stavanger, Anna continued a career in geologic exploration, working at the time for Elf-Aquitaine.

In 1994, Anna and Eric permanently settled in The Woodlands, Texas where she immersed herself in community clubs and organizations. She was an active member of International Friends of The Woodlands. In addition, she was instrumental in organizing and promoting the Woodlands EFT Tappers, especially focusing on veterans suffering from PTSD.

Anna is preceded in death by her parents and husband, Eric. She is survived by her brothers Nils and Hans Horndahl (wife Ann) of Sweden, nephew Bjorn and niece Anna.
