Donna L. Nichols

October 22, 1959 – July 21, 2023

Our beautiful Donna peacefully passed away July 21, 2023. Donna was an active member of the Immaculate Conception Church in Denham Springs for 23 years.  During that time Donna touched so many lives through her teaching Catechism classes, Marriage Encounter, Bereavement Committee, and the annual church fair and many other committees. Donna was an active member of the Denham Springs Mardi Gras parade committee. Donna worked at Faulk & Winkler for 20 years and her “work family” meant the world to her. There will never be another LSU fan like Donna – she truly bled purple and gold. For Donna, life was never about her, she always thought of her family and anyone else she encountered.  They always came first.

Kayda and Bill and Beatrice Nichols.

A celebration of Donna’s life will be held at the Main Hall at Immaculate Conception Church following burial.
