With profound sadness
we announce the passing of Evelyna (Doherty) Nicholson, our loving
mother, wife, and a friend to all she touched. She left us at Moncton
City Hospital on December 28, 2021. Evelyna was born on June 29th,
1944 in Fredericton NB, to her loving parents, the late John
« Jack » and Blanche (Hickey) Doherty. Evelyna was proud to
have grown up in Odell park where her father was the caretaker for the
City. In 1966 Evelyna became wife and best friend to her
husband Paul Nicholson.
Evelyna worked for a short time as a telephone operator
for NBTel before becoming a wonderful full-time mother and
homemaker. She lived a full life and took great joy in
gathering friends and family together for meals and celebrations. She
loved to cook, enjoyed shopping (especially for shoes), sewing,
crafts, and liked to travel. Whenever asked her height she
was always sure to say 4 feet, 11 and ¾
inches.
In addition to her husband Paul (known as Bobo to his
grandchildren), Evelyna (known as Baba to her grandchildren) is
survived by her three daughters; Jody (Rod Jordan), Stacey (Bryce
Ford), Danielle (Matt) Amos, grandchildren; Benjamin, Elijah, Jorji,
Matthew, Molly, Quinn, Morgan, Caleb and Mallory and a special chosen
grandson Ernest Williams. She will also be dearly missed and
forever in the hearts of her brothers, James « Ned » Doherty,
John Doherty, and Patrick (Shirley) Doherty; sister-in-law Artice
« Bunny » Jenkins as well as several nieces and nephews and
cousins.
While we are sad to see her go, we are grateful for her
time with us, she will be reunited with her parents, her sister
Shirley, brother Theodore « Ted » and her sister-in-laws Betty
and Pauline Doherty and brother-in-law
Lionel.
