Virginia "Ginny" Lee Nickerson (70) of Franklin, TN, passed away peacefully on September 6, 2025, surrounded by her loving family and friends, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Born on May 19, 1955, in Nashville, Tennessee, Ginny was a beloved daughter, wife, mother, stepmother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Ginny’s greatest joy was found in the people she loved. She was deeply devoted to her family and friends, always offering her time, support, and unconditional love. Her home and heart were always open, and she made everyone feel seen, valued, and cherished. The strength of her relationships was a true reflection of the kindness and loyalty she gave so freely.

Ginny is survived by her daughters Marti Martin (Reggie) and Sarah Martin; her stepdaughter Jennifer Thomas; and her stepson Brad Shaw (Billie). She was a proud and loving grandmother to Dion Martin, Marcus Anderson, and Keely Coure (Michael).

Ginny’s cherished circle of friends, who were like family, provided steadfast love and support throughout her life and were especially dear to her during her illness. Their unwavering presence was a source of great comfort and joy.

She was preceded in death by her beloved mother, Virginia McMillin, and father, Sidney McMillin; her husband, William Nickerson; her brother, Dan McMillin; and her sister, Becky McMillin.
