His parents: Hugh Winder Nibley and Phyllis Nibley -- they had eight children: Paul S. Nibley [BYH Class of 1965], Provo, Utah; Thomas H.

Memories: I remember the days when all of the boys had to run up to the old BYU stadium for gym class with Coach Jed Gibson. Our lockers and showers were located in an old wooden building, and the coach had an office there. One day Gibson was interviewing us one at a time about grades or something, and when my turn came I left the field where we were doing track stuff, and went in to his office. As I went inside I passed an old door that was nailed shut. It divided the locker room hall from another locker room on the other side. I could hear talking and laughter on the other side of the door. The voices were female. I moved down the hall to the office. After the business in the office, I came back out into the hall. I was all alone and couldn't help but notice that the door had a small hole drilled in one panel. I could still hear the girls talking. I went toward the door with every hope of enjoying the scene on the other side. Just as I put my eye to the hole, Coach Gibson's voice came roaring out of his office: "Get away from that door!" The timing was perfect. I jumped away from the door and ran outside to send the next victim in. @2005 ~ ~ ~ ~ Job: Paul Nibley Productions, President. @2009

Steve Nibley
  • Work: (801) 375-7175

Class of 1966 - Honorary Member. Stephen Nibley helped organize "Friends of Maeser," a non-profit group founded to take donations to save Maeser Elementary School in Provo, which was said to be the oldest operating school in Utah. The Provo City School District wrestled with a decision to tear down the 100-plus-year-old school if a new tenant wasn't found for the two-story building by July 2002. The building was vacated June 28, 2002, when workers moved the last pieces of furniture out of the school. Beginning in fall 2002, Maeser Elementary's student body moved into a new school in southeast Provo. In February 2005 the Provo City Council voted to change a city ordinance and finalize a deal that will save the historic Maeser School. The council authorized a new, unique zone for the block where the century-old school stands. The new zoning designation allows the Provo Housing Authority, a not-for-profit organization, to renovate the building for 32 senior housing apartments and to build 12 single-family homes in the school's park area. Neighborhood residents asked for an opportunity to purchase the park land to preserve it as open space, and the council agreed to create the zone with a provision for a park. "There's more to revitalization than new houses," resident Steve Nibley said. "It's very important to the quality of life to have parks." Housing authority director Doug Carlson said he was willing to hold off on the sale of the 12 lots for the homes for 45 days to give the neighbors a chance to raise funds and make a bid.

Margaret Ann Nicholes (Otterstrom), born January 27, 1927; 8. Mary Joyce Nicholes (Woodbury) [BYH Class of 1949]; and 9. K. R. Kelly Nicholes [male]. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Ruth Nicholes Miller, age 87, passed away peacefully on December 19, 2006 surrounded by her family. Born on March 25, 1919, Ruth began life in Utah's "Dixie" (St. George) at the end of World War I, the fourth child in a large family of nine. In an autobiography, Ruth wrote that her "parents were educated, respected, talented people who were strong in their faith and totally devoted to each other, their family and the community." Ruth's father, Joseph Kelly Nicholes, was a former President of Dixie College and her mother, Olive Maiben Nicholes, was an accomplished author and painter. After the Nicholes family moved to Provo, she graduated from Brigham Young High School in 1937. Her father taught Chemistry at Brigham Young University. Ruth served a mission for the LDS Church in Germany in 1938. Ruth's mission was cut short with Hitler's invasion of Poland in 1939. She was a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and faithfully served in many positions. Upon her return to the United States from Germany, Ruth resumed her education, earning a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education at BYU, where she met the love of her life, Martin Miller. Ruth and Martin were married in the Salt Lake Temple on August 3, 1942. While Martin was a professor at BYU, Ruth became an elementary school teacher for Provo City School District, and later earned a Masters Degree in Library Science from BYU. Ruth taught elementary school and served as a librarian for over thirty years. She also enjoyed gardening and singing in choirs. Ruth's primary legacy is a devotion to education, not only of her own children, but all children. Even in her eighties, Ruth often commented that one of the greatest joys of her life was teaching children how to read, and helping them achieve the best within them. Ruth's beloved Martin predeceased her in 1980, although hardly a day went by without Ruth reminiscing how much she missed him. In 1981, Ruth wrote, "I know where he is and with whom. I have no regrets, just wonderful memories of all we have shared together." Ruth is survived by her three children: Lawrence Martin (Karen), Judith Evelyn McConkie (James), Max Alma (Linda), eleven grandchildren, and nineteen great grand children. She is also survived by three sisters, Virginia, Elizabeth and Joyce, and one brother, Kelly. Ruth's greatest desire was to bring joy to her family. Her wish for Christmas, 2006, was that she would be with all her family. The family wishes to express a heartfelt appreciation to Brighton Gardens of Salt Lake City, where Ruth lived the final six years of her life. Brighton Gardens gave Ruth continuous support, love, kindness and respect, for which she always expressed gratitude. Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m., December 23, 2006 at the Larkin Mortuary, 260 East South Temple, Salt Lake City. Friends and family are invited to a viewing commencing at 9:00 a.m. at the mortuary. Graveside services will be held at East Lawn Memorial Hills Cemetery in Provo, Utah at approximately 1:30 p.m. on December 23, 2006.

Roger & Gloria/Carol Nicholls

Class of 1953. Basketball, Football, Lettermen, Junior Class Social Chair. BYU BS Business Management 1961. ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: ROGER NICHOLLS OBITUARY. Roger Verl Nicholls, 1935 ~ 2023. Roger Verl Nicholls passed away on January 8, 2023. He was born on March 14, 1935, to Verl Nicholls and Ellen Rogers Nicholls in Ogden, Utah. As a young child, he moved around Northern Utah, Southern Idaho, and even Michigan as his father worked various jobs throughout the depression and World War II years. His parents eventually settled in Utah County. Roger attended Brigham Young High School in Provo, where he played basketball and football and was a letterman and Junior Class Social Chair. He graduated in the BYH Class of 1953. Anyone who knew dad appreciated his love of jokes, parties, and other events that started early in life. While he was an only child, he readily made and cherished lifelong friends and his extended family. His sense of humor carried him and his family through many an adventure. Family and friends will undoubtedly miss laughing with him in the coming years. His parents bought a house in Orem, and two doors down lived the Clives. Roger and Gloria met when they were 15, married after high school in 1953, and were happy together until her death in 2001. Dad was a hard worker and had three children by the time he graduated from Brigham Young University with a BS in Business Management in 1961. He started his career with Kennecott Copper in Magna. While at Kennecott, he welcomed the last of his children to the family before he branched out to take a job in Ft. Worth, Texas, with General Dynamics. Dad left General Dynamics for Lone Star Gas where he helped them computerize their databases. He and Gloria loved Texas and the dear friends they made there, but extended family and a desire to be his own boss pulled them back home to Utah. After learning the pest control trade from his father-in-law, he started Roger Nicholls Pest Control and taught Seminary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Murray Jr High and High School. Dad loved his Savior Jesus Christ and served Him throughout his life in various callings beginning with the first calling he received after his marriage to work with the scouts in his Orem Utah ward. He loved children and youth particularly, which led to his being on the scouting council in Ft Worth. The scouting council assignment brought about one of the most memorable family vacations. We attended Philmont Scout Ranch, where dad was in training meetings daily. The rest of the family enjoyed adventures unique to every age and aptitude throughout the week. Eating buffalo was a memorable highlight of that vacation. He served in several bishoprics, high councils, taught youth and gospel doctrine classes and served as bishop to a singles ward, but he always talked about his time teaching the 6-year-olds in Primary as one of his favorite callings. He loved their pure love of Jesus Christ. He was fortunate to find love a second time when he met Carol Craig and married her on March 30, 2002. He gained two daughters, two sons-in-law, and additional grandchildren he loved when he married Carol. Dad and Carol enjoyed traveling, especially cruises and Disneyland. Carol has been a great blessing to dad, especially the last three years of his life as he fought lymphoma and dementia. We want to thank hospice for their care during the last few weeks of dad's life. He is survived by his wife Carol, his children Shelly (David) Delaney, Alan (Margo) Nicholls, Laura (Doug) Best, Jourdan (Lisa) Nicholls, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents and wife, Gloria, and brother-in-law Dave Clive. The funeral will be held February 4, 2023, in Murray at the Belview Ward, 300 E 6300 S. The viewing will be held from 10 - 11 a.m. with the service at 11:30 a.m. Interment, Murray City Cemetery. Deseret News, January 23, 2023
