NICHOLS, Dorothy Joan (Norberg)
88, died January 28, 2018, in Cave Creek, AZ. Born January 24, 1930, in Duluth, MN she was preceded in death by parents, John and Mary Norberg; sister, Shirley Gamache; former husband, Jewel Nichols; son-in-law, Thomas Goodman; granddaughter, Bethany Nichols; and great-grandson, Bentley Peterson. She is survived by daughter, Julie (Thomas); son, Jacob (Diane); daughter, Patricia (Gary); and son, Jeffrey (Angela); brother, Richard (Nan) and sister, Kathy; 12 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Dorothy graduated from Denfeld High School in Duluth, MN, and worked as a bookkeeper while raising her family in Mt. Iron. She later moved to St. Petersburg, FL, where she found many friendships and discovered her love for ballroom dancing. She spent her final years with her daughter Patty in Cave Creek, AZ. She will be remembered for her work ethic, her sewing skills, and her love for her family. Thanks, Mom, for sewing on the Boy Scout patches, teaching us how to make gravy, and creating a home wherever you landed. Memorials in Dorothy's honor can be directed to organizations supporting breast cancer awareness/research. A memorial will be planned for later this year.
