OBITUARIES
Carol Gail Nickachos
Puzzle answers. 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.
