Worcester, VT Linda L. Nelson, 65, of Pratt Road died surrounded by family and friends on Wednesday, June 15, 2016 at the Central Vermont Medical Center. She was born on July 21, 1950, the daughter of Frank and Mary (Curtis) Haggett in Montpelier, VT. She attended Montpelier High School and graduated in the class of 1968. On June 22, 1968, she married Jerry Nelson at the Trinity United Methodist Church. She was self-employed the majority of her life. In 1984, she built what is known as LBJ's Grocery in Worcester. She ran the store until she sold it in 2000. She then managed the office of her husband's trucking company until her retirement. For a number of years Linda would help run BINGO night at the Montpelier Elks club. She also enjoyed playing cards, NASCAR, and trips to the beach.
