In memory of

Terri Nichol

April 16, 1947 -  June 27, 2024

We are sad to announce Terri's sudden passing from a stroke; she was an inspiring and energetic presence to her family, many friends and former colleagues. Terri will be deeply missed for her vibrant personality, unwavering kindness, and the indelible mark she left on all who knew her. Coming to Canada from Amsterdam at the age of 13, Terri was raised in Winnipeg before moving to Toronto in 1972. She was employed at Loblaw's HQ, where she met the love of her life, David Nichol. Terri was a talented chef and baker, which, combined with David's quest for new flavors and experiences, took them to destinations all over the world. Over the next 40 years, Terri and David shared a passion for food, travel and entertaining, cultivating many deep and lasting friendships along the way. In the years following David's death, Terri kept the spirit of those early days alive by maintaining an adventurous nature and a wide circle of close friends. She was a constant source of energy and enthusiasm for everyone in her life.She leaves grieving her daughter, Leigh Gravenor (Patrick Dickinson) and their children, Emma, Harris and Miles; and her late son, Michael Gravenor's daughter, Savannah. The family is grateful for the compassion and humanity displayed by the nurses and doctors of St. Michael's Hospital Trauma and Neurology ICU.

Sincere condolences to you Leigh. It seems unreal that your mom is not with us anymore…Terri was way too fabulous and way too young for this to have happened.
Seeing her at my cousin Mei Sprackman’s parties and always with cousin Kathy, and taco Tuesday’s at Jen’s, was a highlight for me. She was always so happy and grateful to have been included and partake in my immediate family birthday celebrations, and gatherings and to tell us about you and the kids!
I can’t imagine what you must be going through…
She had a special bond with my dad David who would be devastated to hear of her passing,.. She will be beyond missed, and will always be remembered, celebrated and loved. Terri gave me so much advice and encouragement and had endless words of wisdom and kindness.
I’m so grateful to have been able to be a part of her incredible life
I’m so sorry again.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
With love,
Jenn xoxo
