Virginia Phyllis Nicholson, 92 of Gainesville, formerly of Clearwater, died peacefully at home on December 14, 2018. 

She will be remembered by her genuine kindness, her loving spirit and her positive outlook on life. 

"Ginny" was born in Ames, Iowa and after living in Minnesota, she moved to Clearwater in 1971. For many years, she enjoyed her friends at the Caladesi Chapter, NSDAR and the Berkley Plantation National Society Colonial Dames.  For over 20 years, her great passion was genealogical research. She loved helping others with their research at the library.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 68 years, Thomas J. Nicholson, Sr. and her grandson, James Nicholson.

She is survived by her brother, Ben Mason; her children Thomas (Tami) Nicholson and Linda (Frank) Vellake; her grandchildren Kerry Vellake and Amy Nicholson; her sister-in-law Shirley (Richard) Thornsberry and many nieces and nephews.

Interment will be at the Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell.

Virginia married Thomas James "Tom" Nicholson, Sr. about 1946. Thomas was born on 17 Jan 1925 in Washington Township, Story County, Iowa; died on 19 Aug 2014 in Palm Harbor, Pinellas County, Florida; was buried after 19 Aug 2014 in Florida National Cemetery, Bushnell, Sumter County, Florida.
