Grace Rosenberg Nelson, 71, of Abbeville, passed away on Monday, August 24, 2026, at Spartanburg Medical Center. Born in Columbia, SC, she was the cherished daughter of the late Dr. George V. and Edith Cochran Rosenberg.

Grace was a proud 1971 graduate of Abbeville High School. Her warmth and dedication shone brightly as a mother and grandmother, with family time being her greatest joy.

She leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories.

In addition to her beloved parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Herby Rosenberg and her sister Patricia ‘Patsy’ Rosenberg Riley.

Grace is survived by her children, Nick Nelson (Mimi) of Ninety-Six, Donn Nelson (Jennifer) of Beaufort, SC and Elizabeth Nelson of Abbeville; five grandchildren, Matthew, Alexander, Anna, Madeline Grace and Eden Grace Nelson; a sister-in-law, Patrice K.
