Mrs. Helen Nickel, 89, from Everett, Washington went to be with her Lord and Savior on November 3, 2016 after a brief struggle with metastatic cancer. Her work on earth was done. “Her children rise up and call her blessed.”

Helen was born on August 23, 1927 in Hague, Saskatchewan, Canada to Henry and Anna Ens. In 1961, she moved to Everett, WA with her husband, Wilfred, and children, Judy, Lorraine, Gloria and Al. She worked at John Fluke Manufacturing for 24 years. She was a member of Temple Baptist Church since 1961. Her husband of 57 years died in 2004. In 2005, she moved to North Carolina to live with her daughter, Judy.

Helen will be remembered for her godly example she set for her children, Judy (Keith) Brewer, Lorraine (Kenn) Carpenter, Gloria (Ric) Cook and Al (Bobbi) Nickel, her eleven grandchildren and twenty-three great-grandchildren. She was their greatest prayer warrior and her desire was that they all walk with the Lord. She also leaves two sisters and three brothers living in Canada. Her family looks forward to spending eternity with her in Heaven.

A celebration of her life will be held at Evergreen Funeral Home in Everett on Friday, November 18, 2016 at 1:00 pm. Interment will follow at Cypress Lawn.

Memorials may be made to Wycliffe Bible Translators or Samaritan’s Purse, the two organizations she faithfully supported.     

Davis Funeral Service is honored to serve the Nickel family.
