In addition to her studies at Northport High School in Northport, N.Y. she was involved in the Rockville Center Ski Club. It was there that she met Richard F. Nelson. After her exchange student year was over, Grete returned to Bergen and began , work as a translator. She was fluent in seven languages and could decipher two others. In November of 1960, Mr. Nelson flew to Bergen to propose. Grete accepted and they were married there on April 15, 1961. After years in Nassau County on long Island, the family relocated to Newark, N.Y. in 1969. She started working at St. Michael’s as a teachers assistant. Sr. Joyce McGinn, then Principal of St. Michael’s school, encouraged Grete to pursue a degree in education. While raising two children, she went to school nights and weekends and earned her masters degree in Elementary Education. Along the way, she worked weekend nights at the Wayne County Nursing Home, tutored students during summer breaks and was a sales lady at Sibley’s.

Grete was hired by Rev. Msgr, Joseph Champlin to teach at Cathedral School in Syracuse. Throughout her tenure there she taught every grade. She also ran the before and after school program. She worked with Father Champlin in high Guardian Angel Society, helping students achieve their higher education goals. Every year, around the end of the school year Mrs. Kelsey had her students to her home. There they got to see all the workings of a pheasant farm that Grete and Don owned and operated for many years, Otisco Valley Pheasant Farm. It is a cherished memory for many of her former students. Mrs. Kelsey taught at Cathedral Academy and Cathedral Academy at Pompei when the schools merged until she retired in 2010. Upon retirement, Grete and Don purchased their winter home in Melbourne, Fla.
