On May 27, 2020 We lost a strong loving mother and grandmother and sister, aunt. Evelyn Marie Carmon Nicol was Born in Little Rock Kentucky. She was the eighth child out of eleven children, born to Daniel Eugene Carmon, a schoolteacher and Margarite Wilson Carmon a homemaker. Evelyn Nicol, was a pioneer in the fields of microbiology and immunology and one of the few African American Women to have been awarded a patent in the sciences, particularly in the field of Molecular Biology.
