Maike Hannemann Nicholes 1943 ~ 2005

On August 5, 2005, Heavenly Father called home one of His most precious
spirits, Maike Hannemann Nicholes. Maike was born March 5, 1943, in Hamburg,
Germany, where she was raised. Maike served a mission for the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints in the North Scottish Mission from 1964-1966. She
attended Brigham Young University where she met her beloved Henry in the fall
of 1973. They married on April 12, 1974 and were sealed in the Salt Lake
Temple for time and all eternity. In June of 1975, they moved to Hawaii where
Henry finished his teaching career at Brigham Young University-Hawaii. It was
in Hawaii that Maike became a very loving and nurturing mother to three
children, Brenda, Leslie, and Tracy. Maike graduated with a bachelor's degree
from Brigham Young University and a master's degree from Southern Utah
University. She taught for 12 years at Enterprise High School. She was known
for her sense of humor and caring personality.

Maike was preceded in death by her husband Henry, in 2003. She sacrificed
willingly and endlessly for her family. She was a constant example of
patience, love, charity, endurance and never ending faith. There are not words
to express the depth of our sorrow over Mom's passing. Yet through her
beautiful example and eloquent teachings of the Savior, we look forward with
faith to the day of once again being reunited with her, as a family forever.

She is survived by her children, Brenda Nicholes, St. George, Utah; Leslie
Mellinger (David), Layton, Utah; and Tracy Nicholes, Salt Lake City, Utah; and
grandson, McKay Mellinger. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on
Tuesday, August 9, 2005 at the St. George East Stake Center, 449 South 300
East, St. George, Utah. Friends may call Tuesday morning from 9:30-10:30 a.m.
at the Stake Center prior to services. Interment will be at 5:30 p.m. at the
East Lawn Memorial Services in Provo, Utah.
