Patricia Nicholas was educated in the public schools in Jefferson County, KY; in Hawaii; in Fort Sill, Oklahoma; and in Louisville, KY. She graduated from Atherton High (Louisville) in 1935. She attended the University of Louisville and the Oklahoma College for Women until 1939.
Patricia Nicholas died on November 30, 1981, at the home of her daughter Cary, after a long illness from lung cancer. She had been unconscious since November 25, 1981, her death apparently without terminal pain or suffering. During the 1 1/2 years of illness and treatment, she stayed part of the time at daughter Barbara's in Connecticut, and part of the time at daughter Cary's in Winter Park, FL, occasionally at her own home in Cocoa, FL. The daughters had her body cremated in Florida and took the ashes to Louisville. Here they conducted her funeral service on 4 December, at Resthaven, and placed the urn beside that of her deceased husband, Julius, whose funeral had been conducted in the same place more than 4 years earlier. He died on 6 October, 1977.
