Nicole "Nicky" Browning

Nicole “Nicky” Browning, 80, of Bradley, passed away Saturday (June 23, 2018) at her home, surrounded by her loving family. She was born Jan. 11, 1938, in Niort, France, the daughter of Victor Guillette and Anna Allard Guillette. Nicky married Tommy Joe Browning on Dec. 29, 1992, in Kankakee. Nicky worked at Kroehler for 17 years, Bradley Royale for 17 years and had been retired for 15 years. She was very thankful that she was able to enjoy her retirement. She loved reading, watching Westerns and loved her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchild more than life itself. The family said, “They will all miss their Grandma Nicky so very much.” Surviving are her husband; son, John (Karen) Shott, of Bradley; daughters and sons-in-law, Barbara (James) Soucie, of St. Anne, Linda Sue (Douglas) Lyon, of Marseilles, and Tina Browning Torres and Jason, of Kankakee; 11 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-granddaughter. She always thought how wonderful it was to have five surviving generations. Not many families get to live to see that happen, the family said. Preceding her in death were her parents; sisters; and brothers. Visitation will be from 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 27, until the 7 p.m. celebration of life at Jensen Memorial Chapel, 1200 N. Convent Suite B, Bourbonnais, with the Rev. Emily Sauer officiating. Cremation rites have been accorded and burial will be Thursday, June 28, at 10:00am in Aroma Township Cemetery. In Lieu of flowers the family has asked for donations be given to Hospice of Kankakee Valley. Website to donate is www.hkvcares.com
