Coena Nichols

Coena Nichols, 92, passed away peacefully July 24, 2014, at Young at Heart Assisted Living facility in Wolfforth. She was born Coena Hutchins to John and Ora Hutchins in Alexandria, Louisiana, August 1, 1921. She had been a resident of Lubbock since 1933 and attended Lubbock High School. In the 1980’s she retired from sales at S&Q Clothiers and Jay Rogers Clothing. She was a member of the American Contract Bridge League and a member of the Church of the Harvest. Coena exhibited a great love for people of all denominations, for the lost, and for anyone in need. She was an encourager.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Nick Nichols; brothers, Ralph and Nathaniel Hutchins; and sister LaVina Doggett.

She is survived by her son David Smither, daughter in-love Anita Smither; grandson Jonathan Smither and wife Sarah; great grandchildren Caleb and Claire Smither; and nephew Travis Doggett. We count the caring staff of Young at Heat as Coena’s extended family.

A memorial service will be held in Resthaven’s Abbey Chapel on Monday August 4, 2014 at 10:00 AM. Carroll Lockett and Pat Stanton will officiate. In lieu of flowers and to honor her memory, please drop a donation in the Red Kettle during the Christmas season. Coena was a bell ringer for the Salvation Army in the 1930’s.
