Beverly Ann Nichol

Beverly Ann Nichol passed away peacefully on October 9, 2026, in Boise, Idaho, with her family

by her side. She lived a long and adventurous life, touching the hearts of many through her work

for people in need.

Beverly was one of nine siblings and attended Boise High School. Throughout her life, she

dedicated herself to caring for others, serving as a nurse and as a house mother at Hayes Home in

Boise. Her compassion and tough love made a difference in the lives of those she rescued and the

many people she helped.

Beverly remained adventurous well into her 90s. She especially enjoyed taking day trips with her

brother and other family members, creating memories and sharing in the simple joys of spending

time together. She was also a familiar and beloved presence in her neighborhood, where many

came to know her through her frequent walks around the block or crawling through the garden

keeping the weeds in check every day the weather would allow. These walks and chats with

neighbors reflected her independent spirit and her connection to the ancestral North End

community she called home.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Tom and Dorothy Ogden, and her daughters Carrie

and Judy. She is survived by her daughters, Mary Jane, Sarah, and Carla; her nieces and

nephews; and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who carry forward her memory.

Beverly will be remembered for her adventurous spirit, her dedication to helping others, and her

fierce political views in her community. Her life was a testament to the value of staying active,

and finding joy in everyday moments. She will be deeply missed by all who loved her.
