- "Solveig Lillian Nielsen, 90, longtime resident of Sun City Center, died peacefully on May 3, 2017, in Tequesta, Fla. (Palm Beach County). Born in 1926 in South Hampton, N.Y. to Danish parents, she returned to Copenhagen at a very young age, as a dual-Danish-U.S. citizen. After the Nazi occupiers were pushed out of Denmark, she moved to Brooklyn, N.Y. where she met and married Schou Nielsen, who died in 2014.
Solveig established and managed the family home for Schou and their two sons in Bergenfield N.J., where she was active in the choir and women’s groups at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church. In 1981, they retired to Sun City Center, where Solveig was active in the Emergency Squad and the Redeemer Lutheran Church Choir.
Solveig leaves two sons, Eric and Peter, and their wives, Mary and Linda, all of Jupiter, Fla. She is survived by three married grandsons: Jesse and Jennifer (Arlington, Va.); Christopher and Catherine (Jupiter, Fla.); and Samuel and Kirby (Columbus, Ohio). She also leaves behind a flock of great-grandchildren, Penelope, Grant, Madison, Grover, McKinley, Kennedy and Heidi.
Solveig knew the Lord Jesus, and the family expects a happy reunion in Heaven. Her remains will be interred at Arlington National Cemetery alongside her beloved husband."
