March 14, 1934 — September 9, 2021

Nicholina Carolina Cappel (Nickie) was born on March 14, 1934 in Deweyville, Texas and passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 9, 2021 in Orange, Texas at the age of 87.

Nickie was a beautician for a large portion of her life for her five sisters and to many other women in the Woodville community. Nickie enjoyed collecting flowers from her garden as well as watching the hummingbirds in her backyard. Nickie was an avid soap opera and game show viewer and was always willing to bring a game for family members to play during holiday gatherings. Nickie was a devoted sister, aunt, wife to her deceased husband, Gary, and mother to their two adopted children, Kristi and Christopher. Family reunions and the extensive planning it entailed was her passion. Her bubbly personality and sweet smile will be missed by many. Nickie was loved deeply by everyone who knew her.
