Ethel R. Nelson (1923–2021)

Her research-oriented mind was ever curious, whether working on a medical mystery like hemorrhagic fever (Dengue) or working with Chinese characters. She was a prolific writer not only in the medical field, where she wrote many published research papers, but she had many published books on her passion – ancient Chinese characters and their relationship to the biblical story of Genesis, her most recent being the co-written Oracle Bones Speak. In addition to these, she also wrote health books, such as 375 Meatless Recipes and Burkitt Cancer Fiber, a biography of Dr. Denis Burkitt. When not writing on these subjects, she enjoyed writing and illustrating storybooks for her grandchildren, bringing to life stories from her family's time in Thailand.
