Nadia Mae Kennedy Nicholas, 86, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family as a result of pancreatic cancer on December 2, 2016.

Nadia was born in Randolph, Utah, the daughter of Carl and Ellen Kennedy. Her family moved to Ogden when she was eleven years old. She continued her education there, graduating from Ogden High School. She married her high school sweetheart, Leonard Nicholas. They were married for 67 wonderful years.

Nadia also served alongside her husband as a missionary/host for 16 years at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building where she made many lifelong friends. Her favorite activity, however, was spending time with her family.
