Marilyn Lee Nicholls

She was born on June 21, 1931 to Leonard and Alice Manson of Peoria, Illinois.

She was an active member of the Episcopal Church Altar Guild, ECW member, officer, Church Schoolteacher during her husband's military service of 25 years, and his church ministry of 27 years.

Marilyn was active in the Air Force Wives Clubs and their philanthropic programs. Over the years, she was Girl Scout Leader Trainer, a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, a substitute teacher, a hospital volunteer, a licensed practical nurse and a literacy council volunteer. She was an active member of the P.E.O. club CM during her stay in Altus, Oklahoma, and continued to be a member until her death.

She had a special talent as a quilter and other handwork as can be attested to by her many gifts of quilts to family members.

She was an avid reader and enjoyed traveling; and a wonderful wife and mother who wanted the best for her children. She loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren very much.

She will be deeply missed by all of her family.

She is survived by her loving husband of 52 years, the Rev. Norman G. Nicholls; daughters and sons-in-law, Sue Ellen and Dr. Robert Smith, Sally Lynne and the Rev. Canon Paul Lambert, Norma Lee and Major William Cody; and son, John James Patrick Nicholls. She is also survived by two sisters, Joanne and Phyllis; brother, Robert; seven grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

At her request, there will be no visitation.
