Kay Burt-Willson wrote a sympathy message

“She was the most elegant lady, always poised and kind. Barbara introduced me to the inner world on WRCJ, where she was know as the God Mother. Detroit would not have a classic radio station without the work of this brilliant woman. She was a wonderful wife, mother, friend, volunteer and supporter of the arts. Our world is a better place for having been blessed with the gift of Barbara Nickles. Thank you for enriching my life dear friend. I will always love you. Kay”
