Gayle J Nichols

A graduate of Pompano Beach High School, mom pursued further education at the University of Florida before earning her degree from Belmont University. She had a diverse career as a teacher, homemaker, and bank executive, contributing significantly to those she served.

Mom was deeply devoted to her church and found joy in gardening, where she nurtured beautiful plants and welcomed hummingbirds and Redbirds to her garden. Known for her generosity and strength, she was a faithful friend and loving mother to her daughters, Fran and Kim. Mom cherished her role as grandmother to Katie and Tori. She was a proud great grandmother to four great grandchildren and a loving pet owner to her little dog, Chip.

Those who remember mom will fondly recall her thoughtful nature, as she would send encouraging messages to those in need. Mom leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and devotion, forever etched in the hearts of those she touched.

Services will be held on Saturday, January 31,2026. Visitation will be from 1pm to 3pm, with a Celebration of Life service at 3pm at Parkway Baptist Church.

In Lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to St. Jude Children's Hospital.
