NANCY ANN (NICHOL) HOYT

Heaven gained another angel as Nancy Ann (Nichol) Hoyt passed away on December 22, 2020.  Nancy was born on February 9, 1933 to Alva and Lila (Welton) Nichol.  Nancy married the love of her life and soul mate, Leslie Hoyt, in Angola, Indiana on June 25. 1948.  They enjoyed 48 years together until his passing in 1996.  They enjoyed everything together, from traveling and camping to just riding around at dusk to see deer.  They especially enjoyed camping with their grandson Ken Hoyt Jr., traveling to Northern Michigan, the Upper Peninsula and Canada with him.

Nancy's family was her pride and joy.  She is survived by her son Ken Hoyt (Debbie) of Harrison, MI and grandson Ken Hoyt Jr. of Grand Rapids, MI.

Nancy was the oldest of 10 children.  Preceding her in death were her mother Lila Nichol, her father and stepmother, Alva and Cora Nichol, her sisters Phyllis Rainsberger, Janice Dix, Sister Elizabeth Ann Marie (Kathleen) and brothers Nelson Nichol, Alva Nichol (Sonny), and Gary Nichol. She is survived by her sister Patti (Gary) Sanders, and brothers James Nichol and Bill Nichol and her dear sister-in- laws Jane Nichol and Sally Nichol.  Many special nieces and nephews also survive her.

She was a devoted member Hope Baptist Church in Harrison MI and her church family was very special to her.

In keeping with her wishes, cremation has taken place.  A celebration of her life will be held in 2021.  Donations in her memory can be made to Hope Baptist Church in Harrison MI or to the North Woods Nursing Center Activities Department in Farwell, MI.  Her family wishes to thank the staff at North Woods for the wonderful care they gave her.
