Joann Nicholson entered into eternal rest on Wednesday, April 30, 2025 at the age of 71. A native of Greenwood, South Carolina, Joann was born July 22, 1953. She was known and loved by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Joann was known as the neighborhood Mom to all the children, and a faithful friend to all she came in contact with. A 1971 graduate from Greenwood High School, Joann was a member of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church and was a member of The Women Aide Society #87.
She was preceded in death by her parents, C. B. and Thelma Nicholson.

(Rena) Nicholson of Dickinson, TX, James Marion (Diane) Nicholson of Greenwood, SC, and Michael Anderson of Lexington, SC; and a host of grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and special friends.
