Rhoda Mary Nickerson of Chelsea formerly of Ann Arbor, died peacefully Sunday morning, Sept. 18, 2022, at Chelsea Retirement community.
Rhoda was born on Aug. 28, 1942, in Kingston, New York, the daughter of Carl William and Alma Louise Miller Nickerson.
Rhoda’s early years on the family farm in Saugerties, NY were defined by hard work, love of animals, family gatherings, the outdoors, gardening, and 4-H.
Later in her 50’s she moved to Michigan to be near her sister Janet Frank. She began a new adventure of living independently at the Pines, in Chelsea. Rhoda liked living in Chelsea and soon became an active member of Our Savior Lutheran Church. She loved nothing more than trips with the Silver Streaks and women’s Bible study.
A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2022, at Our Savior Lutheran Church, with Pastor Pezzica officiating. Visitation will be at 10:00 a.m. and a luncheon will follow the service. Her ashes will be buried in the family plot in Kingston, NY.
