Donald Nichols

Nichols, Donald Ralph – It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved husband Donald on Saturday, December 17th 2022 at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Elliot Lake in this 73rd year.

Donald was one of the founding members of the group SAGE. He could consistently be seen with his good friend the late Keith Moyer and in Council Chambers at most meetings.

He is pre-deceased by his father Leonard Nichols and mother Jessie Nichols both from Omemee, Ontario and his aunt Averie from Elliot Lake. He is survived by his wife of 50 years Evelyn Jean Nichols.

Donald did not want a service and cremation has taken place. Donations to the St. Joseph’s Foundation of Elliot Lake or Furever Homes and Lodging, SAD would be appreciated by the family.
