On December 6, 2019, Louise Nickell went to join her loving relatives who preceded her in passing, including her late husband of 69 years, Hillard G. Nickell. Louise lived to be 100 years of age on October 11, 2019.
She was a real "artist" at cooking and her recipes were always in demand, such as Mushroom Swiss Steak, Lake Erie perch fries, and her Spanish stew feast.
The Nickell's and their five children lived in Lakemore, Ohio, until the couple moved to St. James City, Florida in 1976. In 2004, they moved to Charleston, South Carolina, to live with daughter, Sue and her husband, Dorsey Bolyard.
Louise is survived by three sisters, Helen Loewenguth, Dorothy Terry, and Doris Robinson, all three from Ironton, Ohio. Also surviving Louise is daughter, Barbara (Ronald) Harnack of Canal Fulton, Ohio, Daughter, Carolyn Sue Bolyard, of Charleston, South Carolina, son, Gary (Diane) Nickell of Ocala, Florida, and son Mike (Pam) Nickell of Naples, Florida; also surviving are many loving grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Newcomer Funeral Home in Akron, Ohio handled the arrangements and burial was at Hillside Memorial Park in Akron.
A private memorial service has been held for the family.
Special thanks goes to the Bolyard family who shared their home and their hearts with Louise for the past 15 years.
