My prayers and condolences to the family of Mr. Nickleberry. My grandfather (George Hall) worked for the sanitation department and marched with Mr. Nickleberry.

As a young boy growing up in Arkansas, I always welcomed the visits to stay with Aunt Winnie in Memphis. Cousin Elmo (Hoggie) was usually the one to pick me up at the bus station. On most of my visits, he followed Aunt Winnie's instructions to bring me straight to her house. However, the memory that stands out in my mind was when he (and another cousin) forgot I was in the back seat and were late dropping me off at Aunt Winnie's house. Their conversation was very interesting for a young 10 or 11 year old boy. They were so excited about the plans they had for that coming weekend. Cousin Hoggie was such a jovial and energetic young man. That boundless energy would serve him well in his career working for the Memphis Sanitation Department and in his role as a Civil Rights Activist. His work directly impacted many during his lifetime; and, his legacy will continue to impact us and the entire country in the future. Godspeed Cousin Elmo until we meet again. Rest in Peace!

I am so thankful that I get to meet Mr. and Mrs. Nickleberry some years ago and it was a pleasure each trimester I saw them. Two of the kindest beautiful people I have ever known. My thoughts and prayers are with The Nickleberry Family today and the days ahead. Mr. Nick as I called him is a legend in his time and to have such a precious beautiful wife Mrs. Mary. I will treasure my memory of this couple.

Cousin Elmore was and always will be one of my hero'. He worked at a time when black people, especially black men was considered less than a man. Cousin Elmore made a statement continuing to work under horrendous circumstances long after that great march with Dr. King until a measure of success was finally to be had with benefits, working well into his 80's. Cousin Elmore Nickelberry a true hero and patriot. Rest in Peace cousin Elmore. James & Jeannie Nickelberry

You are in our prayers and thoughts

Cousin Peggy, we are truly praying for God to comfort you in the loss of Cousin Elmo. I remember my mom and I visiting you both at your home. It was such a great visit we laughed, encouraged each other, took pictures (of you all) and talked about the past/present. Being a fellow Memphian I would always meet people that Elmo had made such a positive impact on. He was a ray of sunshine that will not stop shining here in Memphis and the world. God Bless you, the children, grandchildren and the entire family. Love Sherri Foy and family (as we would always answer at the family reunion) Rosie Nickleberry's (Uncle Albert's Daughter) Daughter ❤💕

Sending my condolences and prayers to the Nickleberry family.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
