WILSON, Frances "Nickie" R.N. (nee Nickerson) July 15, 1924 – November 12, 2013 Predeceased by her beloved husband Donald of 62 years. Lovingly remembered by her sons, Stephen (Susan), Dean (Sherry), Craig (Catriona) and grandchildren, Lauren, Savannah, Duncan and Euan, nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Born in Victoria, attended Sir James Douglas, Victoria High, Craigdarroch Castle College and trained as a nurse at Royal Jubilee Hospital (Class of 1945). She worked as an R.N. in Vancouver and Victoria. Later she volunteered as a nurse in public health for over 25 years. Mom was strongly connected to her family's pioneering roots on the Saanich Peninsula. That connection allowed Frances and Don to build a beautiful home on the site of the family's old beach house cottage on Roberts Bay in Sidney. Mom was able to realize her dream and live in their new home for 7 years. Mom maintained close ties with her high school and nursing classmates. She was affectionately known as "Nickie" by family and old friends. Remarkably, until recently, Mom had an incredible memory for people, names and events. The family often joked that she was our first computer! Mom was very social and was a card carrying member in at least 14 different groups or societies, - too many to name. While able, she tried to attend every meeting and reunion. The family would like to thank those who cared for Mom during her time at James Bay Care and Mount St. Mary Hospital. A special thank you at Mount St. Mary to the wonderful nurses in St. Luke House, pastoral care and the Reverend Sel and Joan Caradus. The family will be arranging a celebration of life for Frances in the new year. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.mccallbros.com
