Penny Nichols Obituary
Penny Nichols
Oct. 30, 1945 - June 10, 2023
MIDDLETOWN - It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to a remarkable person. On the morning of June 10, 2023, Penny Nichols, surrounded by family at her home in Middletown, CA, passed away peacefully in her sleep.
A pioneer woman who touched the lives of many with her love for family, indoor plants, gardening, and farming all of which was a testament to her nurturing spirit. In this time of grief, let us find solace in the memories we hold dear and the knowledge that Penny's love will continue to live on through each and every one of us. As we reflect on Penny's life let us remember the laughter she shared, the wisdom she imparted, and the love she bestowed upon us all. Though she may no longer be physically present, her spirit will forever guide and inspire us.
Penny is survived by her loving daughter, Stephanie, and her devoted son, Nicholas. Her grandchildren: Ashley, Jeramy, Christine, Lemmy, and Flynn, were the apples of her eye; and her great-grandchildren: Emilia, Elias, Forest, and Autumn brought immense joy to her life. Penny had two wonderful sisters that she profoundly loved . Her older sister Harlene, who preceded her in death, was a crucial spark in her life. Penny is survived by her younger sister, confidant, and best friend Susan. Penny's oldest nephew, Michael, preceded her in death as well. The surviving nieces and nephews: Robin, Pam, Rhonda, Todd, Andy, and Dayna, mourn the loss of one our families most courageous influences and a cherished aunt.
Rest In Peace, dear Penny. You will be deeply missed.

I will miss your laugh. I will miss your jams, pies and fudge. I will miss roaming in your garden, collecting feathers along the way and looking at all of your vegetables growing. I will miss always having a diet Pepsi reserved for you. I will miss your generosity and always making me and my children feel cared about. There is nobody like Penny Nichols

I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I remembered more details about my childhood and visiting Aunt Penny. I do remember she was kind and had all kinds of animals around to entertain us kids. I even recall an emu at one time :) My thoughts are with you all!

Sheep shearing and Beulah's burgers. I really miss those times and all the times I could pop in and stay the weekend. It was like running away to peace and freedom. Your friendship was a true treasure and you always felt like family. Big hugs and condolences to all of us that are experiencing your loss

My heart goes out to all her family and to those who felt she was part of their family just not by blood. I will forever cherish all the memories I have with Penny. She was the place to go to get out of town and just be. She will be truly missed and never forgotten.
