Mrs. Nicholas will be remembered with love and kindness. She would call me Char not Charryn (Sharon) I considered it a special nickname. She always had a smile and a great laugh. Charryn King McDowell class of 1975

What a wonderful lady. Dorothy and Glenn were the parents of our dear friend RuthAnn. We shared special times at the campground with them watching their two Boston’s Tom and jerry play . we enjoyed visiting with them when we would see them,in Green Bay at Ruth’s place. A few stop overs in Escanaba to visit Dorothy and Glenn were always enjoyable. She will be remembered by many for her sunshine disposition and big heart. Dorothy I’m betting you and Glenn are dancing up a storm. When I make my way there I hope you will save a dance for me. Ken

I didn’t know she had passed until now. My heart goes out to her family and especially Warren & Denise Nichols. I used to spend the night at her house with my best friend Alicia When we were younger. She was such a sweet lady. God bless to all and sorry for your loss.
