Kristy Cruz Ballesteros Nelson

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kristy Cruz Ballesteros Nelson, a beloved wife, mother, daughter, and sister.  On August 5, 2023, after a brave three-year battle with stage 4 cancer, Kristy peacefully departed, surrounded by the warmth of family and friends who stood by her side during her courageous journey.

Kristy’s strength and resilience in the face of adversity was truly remarkable.  She will forever be remembered for the love she showered upon her cherished son, Calvin, and her daughter, Alexis.  As a mother, her devotion knew no bounds, and the precious memories she created will be treasured for generations to come.

In celebration of Kristy’s beautiful life, we honor her for exemplifying strength, love, and selflessness.  Her spirit will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing her.  Kristy’s legacy lives on in the hearts of her beloved husband, Tim Nelson, her parents, Ernesto and Thelma Ballesteros, her brother Aries Ballesteros, her sister Cheryll Ballesteros, and her daughter, Alexis Nelson.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to be made in Kristy’s name to Brenner Children’s Hospital in Winston-Salem.

We deeply appreciate the outpouring of kindness, heartfelt thoughts, and prayers during this difficult time.  It is with the upmost gratitude that we extend an invitation to join us for the funeral service of our beloved, which will take place on August 18, 2023, at the serene Holy Family Catholic Church in Clemmons, North Carolina, commencing at 11:00 am.  Your presence and support will mean the world to us as we come together to celebrate and honor the cherished memories of our dear departed.

The staff of Davidson Funeral Home, Hickory Tree Chapel is serving the Nelson family during this difficult time.

May Kristy’s soul rest in peace, knowing her love and impact will forever be cherished and remembered.
