Carol Sue Taylor-Nichols passed away on Monday, March 16, in Spokane, Washington. She was born on Oct. 22, 1941, in Sylvania, Ohio, the daughter of Harley D. Taylor and Bernice L. Cherry-Taylor.

She grew up in Sylvania, Ohio, where she met and married her first husband, Richard A. Schooner. They had four children: Robin, Sheri, Ronda and Tom. They later divorced.

On May 8, 1976, she married John L. Nichols. John had three children: Sherry, Polly, Johnny. They raised their combined family in Green River, and later moved to the Bridger Valley.

Sue worked at several different credit unions and banks throughout the years, with the last one being Trona Valley Credit Union in Evanston, from which she retired.

She enjoyed camping and spending time with family and friends. And she never missed sending cards for every holiday — the grandkids all looked forward to getting her card every birthday.

Sue is survived by her daughters, Robin Holmes of Chandler, Arizona; Sheri (Rick) Lowe of Gillette; Polly (Shawn) Thompson of Orem, Utah; Ronda Nichols of Clarkston, Washington; sons, Johnny (Yvette) Nichols of Lyman; Tom Nichols (Mistie) of Evanston; a sister, Marilyn Pinkerton of Sylvania, Ohio; and several grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Harley and Bernice Taylor; her husband, John; son, Richard A. Schooner Jr.; daughter, Sherry Lynn Clark; brother, Paul Taylor; and some of her grandchildren.

Graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 9, at the cemetery in Fort Bridger.
