Mary (Maureen) Clare Nicholson

I met Mary´s daughter Jane in high school and started cutting Mary`s hair when I had no idea what I was doing. She was so trusting! Over the years, I got to know her not just as my friends, mom, but as a human being. I met Mary when I was 16, and over the 36 years I´ve known her, she was one of the few people I felt completely myself around. Looking back, I realize what an incredible influence she had on me and my own parenting. I learned from watching Mary to love my daughter with complete...

Danny, Jane and David, I'm so sorry for your loss. Your mom was always kind and so calm (in light of all the chaos we were creating). She gardened like no other. I wish you all peace in this time of grief. Love, Megan Bourne

Maureen was a wonderful neighbour. She was the picture of peace and contentedness sitting in her chair under the shade of her trees in the garden. She loved to chat over the fence and was always so interested and enthusiastic. Life enthralled her and it was contagious. She shared her wonderful fresh vegetables with us often and beautiful smiles. She will be greatly missed round here. Chatty Cotter

Danny, Jane and David, I just learned of your mom´s passing. Although I haven´t seen her in many years, she has always been one of my favorite people. She always had a twinkle in her eye and a kind word. When I went to nursing school her generous spirit was what I tried to model my practice after. Prayers to all of you during this time, she will be missed. Mollie Bourne O´Kane

I met Maureen for the first time on night duty at Children's hospital. It was my second week And I went to Maureen´s nursing unit for her opinion on an administrative question. We had a cup of tea together at 3 in the morning and she helped me solve the problem.Later we became friends and room mates and had many fun weekend trips together to Carmel and camping at Russian river. She was a wonderful friend and I will miss her . Rest In Peace Maureen. Helen

Moureen was the sweetest, happiest, gentlest, and the greatest ray of sunshine in the outer Sunset. We were fence buddies, because our backyards butted up, and she always shared her current crop of lettuce with Our Family. She loved watching our dogs over the years and her face always lit up when the dogs would run up to her and I always got a little bit of gossip about the neighbors. Moureen will be greatly missed. RIP Moureen.
