Puzzle on P. 7 10/11/1951 - 02/02/2016 Carol Nickachos passed away on Tuesday, February 2 in Port- land from complications of a 5-month battle with cancer. She was a 1974 graduate of PSU, member of the Roosevelt HS class of 1969, a James John grade school alumnus and attended OSU in Corvallis as part of her participation in US Bank’s early Work Study program. Eventual- ly graduating from PSU with a BS in Finance, she spent many years at the Bank’s downtown Corporate HQ in the Trust De- partment, completing her lat- ter years at their Tigard leasing offi ces. Retiring early, Carol transferred most of her bound- less energy into service for oth- ers. An inveterate knitter, she focused her attention on hats, scarves, blankets, muffl ers and dish cloths both for her many friends and family, but more sig- nifi cantly for Portland’s needy, elderly and homeless popula- tion. Years before she received a personal cancer diagnosis, Carol made hats and prayer shawls for people in crisis in the commu- nity. Hundreds of Hand knitted hats and scarves were donated to hospitals, shelters and ministries throughout the metro area in her effort to encourage and bright- en the lives and hopes of peo- ple she would never know nor meet. A childhood member of St. Johns’ Christian church, then youth member of Portland’s First Christian, she spent the last years of her life associated with Mosaic Church in both North- Janet Linhart east and North Portland. The youngest of four children of George and Ann Nickachos who preceded her in death in addi- tion to her sisters, Pamela Hayes, Nancy Goodner, & companion Marc Albright, she is survived by her brother Paul Nickachos (Im), nephews Brian Hayes and Jona- than Goodner (Coleen), Cous- ins Joan Frazier, Philip Hanson, Kevin Hanson, Richard Hanson, James Hanson, Robert Hanson, Catherine Hanson Kaercher, Steve Clutter, and Mark Mar- kanson; grand nieces Jennifer & Rachael Hayes, and grand neph- ew Andrew Hayes, along with countless other nieces, nephews, cousins and close friends who considered Auntie Carol a crucial part of their own families. Services were held at the North- east Portland location of Mosaic Church, 1832 NE Cesar Chavez Blvd. (39th), on Thursday, Febru- ary 18.
