Nichelson

Linda Yuhasz Nichelson, 80, passed away peacefully at home on October 26, 2026, surrounded by her family. Linda was born April 21, 1946, in Brooklyn, NY, to Emmy Ohlschmid and George Yuhasz. She earned a degree in accounting and began her career working alongside her father in the family clothing business.

Linda and her husband, Adolf “Nick” Finn Nichelson, made their home in Seneca, SC. They built lasting friendships through their church community, newcomers’ club, and walking group, all of which remained important parts of their lives. Both were members of Eternal Shepherd Lutheran Church, where Linda devoted much of her time to their Little Lambs Preschool as bookkeeper, board member, and volunteer at fundraisers and other events.

Linda had an adventurous spirit and enjoyed traveling. She loved exploring America by motorcycle and RV, eventually visiting 49 states. She enjoyed reading, music, taking walks, and anything related to space or ancient Egypt. She had a fondness for sweets and embraced the motto ‘Life is uncertain, eat dessert first!’

Linda was a loving and supportive mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She is survived by her children, Keith Krauth & wife Yolanda, and Kristin Wight & husband Jonathan; her stepdaughter, Sue Nichelson; her three grandchildren, Kristofer, Kayla, & Karina; her two great-grandchildren, Kyra & Kenzie; and her brother-in-law, Joe Nichelson & wife Carol.

Linda and her husband Nick will be laid to rest together 2 p.m. Friday, November 20 at M.J. “Dolly” Cooper Veterans Cemetery, with military honors recognizing Nick’s service. A Memorial Service for Linda will be held 2 p.m. Saturday, November 21 at Eternal Shepherd Lutheran Church.

In lieu of flowers, her family asks that donations be made to Little Lambs Preschool c/o Eternal Shepherd Lutheran Church in Seneca, SC, to continue the work Linda cared so much about.
