1929-2025
Passed away peacefully at the Sault Area Hospital, with her niece Anne by her side, on Sunday, May 4, 2025. Dear wife of the late Bertram “Bert” Godwin. Daughter of the late Edmund and the late Jesse Humphrey. Sister of the late Patricia Minnes and the late Pamela Collins (late Arthur). Sister-in-law of the late Floyd Godwin (Mary). Stepmother of Karen Godwin. Dear aunt of the late Janice, Anne, Scott, David, Paul, Peter and Michael.
Born in Saskatchewan, the family moved to Ontario and settled in Peterborough where Nicky lived most of her life before moving to Sault Ste. Marie in 2018 to be near family. Nicky worked many years as a bank teller and was an active community volunteer. She was a classically trained singer and piano player, and sang in many church choirs, especially St. Luke’s Anglican Church in Peterborough. Nicky also enjoyed singing with the big band in the 1940s, where she met her beloved Bert. She was a bright light her whole life, always smiling and laughing.
A graveside service and interment will take place at a later date at Little Lake Cemetery in Peterborough. Memorial donations to the Alzheimer Society would be greatly appreciated by the family.
Thank you to the staff at Light Haven, Extendicare Van Daele and the Sault Area Hospital for their care and compassion. Arrangements entrusted to Northwood Funeral Home Cremation and Reception Centre (942 Great Northern Rd, 705-945-7758).
