Emmajane Nicholson, 60, Nampa, passed away peacefully in her sleep and went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Oct. 22, 2003, after a courageous battle with cancer.
A celebration of Emmajane's life will be held Oct. 28, 2003, at the Bethel Church of the Nazarene. Pastor Doug Wilson will officiate.
Emmajane was born on April 7, 1943, in Trinidad, CO, to Horace Frank and Nellie May (Arnold) Colby.

While in California, she gave birth to twin daughters, Emma (little Emma) and Elizabeth, in 1968, followed by a third daughter, Elsa, in 1969. The family moved to Nampa in 1970, where Emmajane dedicated her life to children, both at church and at home, operating a home daycare for 25 years where the children affectionately called her and remembered her by the name "Big Emma."
Emmajane enjoyed sewing, crocheting, and needlework. She also enjoyed Bible study, writing and crossword puzzles. Emmajane was an important part of her grandchildren's lives, who will always remember their "Mama."
As a child, Emmajane committed her life to Christ, which impacted her entire life. Her faith and strength during her battle with cancer was an inspiration and blessing to many. She especially loved her church family at Bethel Church of the Nazarene, who cared for her as much as she cared for them.
Emmajane, you were loved dearly and will be tremendously missed as wife, Mommy, Mama, sister, aunt and friend. We look forward to reuniting with you in Heaven.

She was preceded in death by her parents and grandma, Ruth Arnold.
The family would like to give thanks to Dr. Essner at the John Wayne Cancer Institute in Santa Monica, to MSTI in Boise, and to St. Luke's in Boise. Special thanks also go to Dr. Montgomery and the nurses on 4 South. We truly appreciate all of you for the excellent care you provided to Emmajane.
In keeping with Emmajane's lifelong dedication to children, the family suggests that any memorials be made in memory of Emmajane to Nazarene Compassionate Ministries. A fund has been set up under her name to assist African AIDS orphans and their caregivers.
Funeral arrangements are under the direction of the Alsip & Persons Funeral Chapel.

DEATH OF TWO BROTHERS
In the autumn of 1828, Enoch Colby and Sherburne Colby, sons of Nehemiah Colby, who then resided on the place on the Colby road, now owned by the widow of Rev. James Adams, were taken ill at about the same time with a disease of the lungs which finally developed in consumption. They declined very rapidly and, on Sunday forenoon, May 3, 1829, Enoch died. The announcement of his death to the people at the Congregational church during the intermission produced a profound sensation as it was known that his brother was near his end. At 8 o'clock in the evening of the same day, Sherburne also died. The funeral of the two brothers took place at the old Congregational meeting-house on Wednesday afternoon, the day following the annual May training. Col. Samuel Cass was the chief manager on the occasion. The meeting-house was completely filled by people who came from all sections of the town. The remains of the deceased which were enclosed in bright red coffins were placed upon biers in front of the pulpit. Rev. Mr. Wheeler preached an able and appropriate sermon in the course of which he spoke of the virtues of the two young men and the sad and extraordinary circumstances under which they had been cut off in their early manhood. At the close of the exercises the remains were taken to the old cemetery and buried in one grave. Enoch, the oldest brother, was 26 and Sherburne 23 years of age.
