Julie W. Nicholls

May 28, 1954 ~ September 25, 2021

Julie Ann Wilson Nicholls, age 67, of Ogden passed away September 25, 2021 peacefully at home surrounded by her family after a valiant 19-year battle with cancer. Her final days were spent sharing hugs, tears, laughs and memories with the many friends she has made in her lifetime.

Born to Marlow Dean and Gweneth M. Wilson on May 28, 1954. She grew up in North Ogden in what she says was “the best neighborhood ever.” Julie was a graduate of Weber High School class of 1972. She married the ever affectionate and loving Mike Nicholls on February 1, 1974. Shortly after, they welcomed their first daughter Brandy, and five years later Danielle “Buffy” was born. Throughout her sickness, Mike has continued to be her selfless caregiver. Julie was eternally grateful for his love and care.

Julie worked in the title and escrow industry for more than 20 years.  Many of those spent with Mt. View Title and Bonneville Title. She was known to work many and late hours to accommodate her clientele. It didn’t matter if it was a weekend or a holiday, Julie was there. She loved her job and made lifelong friends with coworkers and clients.

Julie loved life! Some of her favorite things were family, friends, golf, the Utah Jazz, anyone who beat BYU, watching football, mani/pedi’s, shopping, casinos, her dogs Sadie (18) and Zeke (5), and above all else, her grandchildren. She was an elegant lady, who even in her final days would get ready with hair, nails, and lipstick.

Julie is survived by her best friend and husband Mike; beautiful daughters Brandy (Shaun) Hancock, Danielle “Buffy” (Will) Haymond; her beloved grandchildren Bralee and Xandon Hancock, Kole and Kambell Haymond; her spunky mother Gwen Wilson aka GG; siblings Linda (Doug) Sorensen, Drew (Annie) Wilson, Todd (Dani) Wilson.  She is preceded in death by her loving father.

Words cannot express our gratitude to Dr. Vincent Hansen, Suzy Kinsella, and the staff at Intermountain McKay-Dee Cancer Center for their years of knowledge, love and compassionate care. Julie’s will to live along with her team of doctors, truly made her a medical miracle.  Dr. Hansen and Julie would joke about their relationship lasting longer than some marriages. The years of chemotherapy were bearable with the friendships she built in the infusion room.

A heartfelt thank you also to everyone at Envision Home Health and Hospice, especially Rebecca, Jenn, and Sammi for guiding us through this transition.
