RIP Kristin (Harmon) Nelson- Ex wife of Ricky Nelson

She passed away April 27, 2018 at the age of 72 of an apparent heart attack her daughter Tracey Nelson announced.  I remember the twin boys Gunnar and Matthew, and who could forget Ricky Nelson my goodness and his parents Ozzie and Harriet.  I didn't know she was Mark Harmon's NCIS sister...wow what a small world.  There was a younger son Sam as well.

 

Looked like such a nice family when I was watching them as a child but I know they had their fair share of challenges.

A couple of years ago Gunnar was on Celebrity Wife Swap. Every once in awhile I notice a repeat of it, can't recall what station does the replays.

She was such a classically pretty girl.  How she lived her life with Ricky Nelson just did not square with her lovely look.  A tragedy.  RIP

That’s sad. The family had plenty of tragedy...accident, illness...none of it enviable.

I always thought Tracy Nelson looks a lot like her mom.   She can be seen in the old Father Dowling Mysteries playing on some of those nostalgia TV show networks.

 

I knew Kris was Mark Harmon's sister.
