Ione Evangeline “Tootsie” Nicholson of Georgetown, Texas, entered eternal rest on July 26, 2021 at the age of 84. She was born in Taylor, Texas on August 24, 1936 to John and Mabel (Peterson) Anderson.
Ione married David Romey Nicholson on August 15, 1955. She was an impeccable seamstress and loved to embroider. She enjoyed learning about her Swedish lineage and spent many years researching her family genealogy.
Ione and her husband, David, owned and operated Cut‘N Sew Fabrics Upholstery in Austin for over 50 years. Ione sewed for Cut’N Sew for many years, all while raising three children and keeping the business running smoothly. She also worked as a cafeteria monitor at T.A. Brown Elementary in the 1970s and 1980s, and was dearly loved by the staff and many children there.
Ione is survived by three children, David K. Nicholson of Coppell, TX, Karen Anderson of Newark, OH, and Janet Walker (Craig) of Georgetown, TX. She is also survived by five grandchildren, Sabrina Anderson, Michael Anderson, Stephen Walker, Brandon Walker, and Erin Ansley; and one great-grandchild, Keller Ansley.
Ione was preceded in death by her husband David of 63 years, parents, two brothers, and five sisters.
Ione’s family would like to express their sincere appreciation and gratitude to the staff of Capitol Hospice and The Delaney of Georgetown Village for the wonderful care she received, especially during the past several months and her final hours.
A private family graveside service will be held at a later date.
