Jean Nelson Ocala Royal Dames Pediatric Cancer Fund

This fund was established in 2009 by the Ocala Royal Dames in honor of Jean Nelson to support research and other academic programs in pediatric cancer at the College of Medicine.

Lydia Kuttas, the 2009 president of the Royal Dames, said, “Jean Nelson bravely faced cancer in her own life and that of her husband. She will always be remembered for her creativity, her loving spirit and her kindness.”
