Virginia Nichols
passed peacefully on February 18, 2022.
She loved her family very much as they
loved her. Virginia was born on April 23, 1934 to Blanche and James in
New Bern, North Carolina. She attended New Bern High School and went on to
college at Meredith Baptist College and graduated in 1956 with a Bachelor of
Arts degree in Business Administration with a minor in teaching.
The summer before she graduated college she met James Nichols at the Trent Pines Club. They were married in November of 1957 in the First Baptist Church in New Bern, North Carolina. After their marriage, James's job required them to relocate around the United States and finally in 1969, they settled in Buena Park, California where she remained for 50 years. She was employed with the Social Security Administration for 30 years and retired in 2004. In September of 2019, at the age of 85, Virginia made her final move back to the South to Athens, Alabama. She loved Christmas Eve, and enjoyed having family and friends over to celebrate. She has left her family with many traditions to remember her by.
She is survived by her children James
(Suzan) Nichols of Chino Hills, California and Nancy (Ed) Hipolito; her grandchildren
Alex Plog, Amanda (Taylor) Kiss, Amy (Justin) Billinger, Ashlee and Allyson
