June 21, 1938—May 21, 2025
Please pray for the repose of the soul of Sister Linda Nicholson, who went peacefully to God on May 21, 2025, at St. John of God Care Center in Los Angeles. She was 86 years of age.
Linda was one of six siblings. She was born in San Jose, California, on June 21, 1938, but moved as a youngster to San Francisco. San Francisco became her playground, and Fort Point was her favorite spot; this was the city her family called home for many years, and where she nurtured her vocation.
After graduating from Star of the Sea Academy, Linda entered the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet community in 1956. She ministered for more than 55 years in the field of education as a teacher, administrator and supervisor.
Sister Linda approached each mission with a listening ear, a forgiving and understanding heart, a love for challenge and organization. She was a faithful companion and mentor, truly a woman of wisdom and courage. A faithful friend and community woman, she was a true Sister of St. Joseph.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
Memorial contributions may be made to: Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, Los Angeles Province, 11999 Chalon Road, Los Angeles, CA 90049 or donate online.
