Jean Nicholson, 81, great mom and cook
Making her children's clothes was only one of the qualities that made Jean Nicholson a terrific mother and wife.
A seamstress during World War II and the daughter of native Sicilians who lived in the Bronx, N.Y., Mrs. Nicholson moved to Erlanger in 1946 after marrying Joseph Nicholson, who she met in New York while he was stationed there with the U.S. Army Postal Service.
"She made her home here and was very happy, " said Suzanne Nicholson, a daughter-in-law. "They were two peas in a pod. I don't know who depended on who more."
The couple was very active in senior groups and with St. Henry Church in Elsmere. Their children attended St. Henry schools and Mrs. Nicholson volunteered time working in the cafeteria there.
"She was a great stay-at-home mom, and she was a great Italian cook, " said Suzanne Nicholson.
Mrs. Nicholson designed and made her children's clothes and as recently as 15 years ago seamed bridal gowns for friends.
"She used the latest designs and fabric. We were probably the best dressed kids in school, " said Richard Nicholson, a son.
