Bridget Kathleen Nichols

Bridget Kathleen Nichols, 72, of Marion Station, Maryland, passed away on November 17, 2025.
She was a selfless, caring, and strong woman whose quiet wisdom and gentle presence touched everyone around her. She loved reading, gardening, cooking, and travel, and found joy in the simple pleasures of life-from tending her garden to sharing a homemade meal with family.
Bridget married Charles Ernest Nichols IV (Ernie) on September 6, 1979, and they shared 46 years of laughter, companionship, and countless meaningful moments.
She is survived by her husband, Charles (Ernie); their children Eric and his wife Ashleigh, and their sons Ryan, Landon, and Dylan; and Erin and her husband Carlo, and their children Charlotte Rose and Christian; and her siblings Colleen Stewart, Sue McDonald, and James McDonald. She adored her grandchildren and they adored her.
A celebration of her life will be held this coming spring at a location to be determined.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Maryland Food Bank or a charity of your choice. To honor Bridget's memory, consider acts of kindness-sharing a smile, helping someone in need, or simply being gentle and patient with those around you.
Her love, warmth, and thoughtful presence will be remembered and cherished by all who knew her. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Bridget, please visit our floral store.
