Minister Tewanna Rena Nelson of Daytona Beach peacefully passed away on Thursday, May 12, 2022.  The staff of Pinello Funeral Home extends their deepest sympathy to the family of Minister Nelson.  

Minister Tewanna Nelson was born in Daytona Beach, Florida on June 26, 1962 to Mildred Bryan.  She was educated in the Volusia County School System and graduated from Spruce Creek High School.  Tewanna worked in healthcare for many years until her own health prohibited it, but her love for others didn’t stop.  She became a minister which was a natural extension of her caring and giving spirit.
