Nelvin was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Luverne. During his life, he honorably served his country from 1961-1967 in the United States Army. He and Geneva enjoyed bowling on couple’s league for many years. He also enjoyed walking, bus tours, tinkering with engines and visiting with people. Nelvin was a simple person and was always giving of his time to others.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Geneva; parents, John and Lena Schelhaas; an infant brother; 3 sisters, Janice Posthuma, Caroline DeGrote and Laura Posthuma; and other relatives.
