She was predeceased by her husband in 1950 and had since then made a home for their three children, William, of Whitehorse and Watson Lake, Mary, in the CNT officer here and John, of the University of Ottawa who travelled from Belgium recently to visit his mother.
Mrs. Nicholson will be buried from Sacred Heart Cathedral Saturday morning at ten o'clock. Interment will take place in the family plot in the Whitehorse
