Tressa G. Nelson

Hampden and Mapleton – Tressa G. Nelson, 81, died on September 18, 2018, at the Aroostook Health Center in Mars Hill after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. She was born in Fort Fairfield, the daughter of Kenneth and Greta (Barnes) Bubar.

Tressa loved to laugh and to travel and had many adventures with close friends and family. She was known for her quick wit and ability to get things done. She had a take charge personality, earning her the nickname, “Sarge”.

Tressa was predeceased by her brothers, Keith, Ronald, and Arnold Bubar; and her sister, Marie Hopkins. She is survived by her daughter, Tammy Nelson and her husband, Sheldon; three grandchildren, Christopher, Jaeanna and Michael; a sister, Darlene Boyd; her former spouse, Dale Nelson, who along with his fiancée, Carolyn Miller, provided tremendous support while she was still living on her own, allowing her to remain independent longer. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews as well as many close friends.

The family would like to thank the staff at the Aroostook Health Center for their excellent care of Tressa, particularly the support offered to the family during her final days.

Relatives and friends are welcome to call 6-8 p.m. Thursday, September 20, 2018 at the Hampden-Gilpatrick Chapel of Brookings-Smith, 45 Western Avenue, Hampden, where a funeral service will be held 11 a.m. Friday, September 21, 2018, with the Rev. Dr. Tracy Reeves officiating. Interment will be held at Lakeview Cemetery, Hampden.
