"Nichols' death was confirmed on Sunday by her son, Kyle Johnson, on her
website. Johnson said his mother died of natural causes.

"Her light, however, like the ancient galaxies now being seen for the first time,
will remain for us and future generations to enjoy, learn from, and draw
inspiration," Johnson said in a statement posted to the website.

Johnson said his mother's life was "well-lived and as such a model for"
everyone. He asked for privacy for the family."

Nichelle Nichols Will Rest Among the Stars:

"On board a rocket named the Vulcan, a symbolic portion of Star Trek legend Nichelle Nichols’ ashes (donated by her son, Kyle Johnston) will be sent into space as a part of a deep-space trip that will honor many Star Trek luminaries. Gene Roddenberry and his wife, Majel Barrett Roddenberry, James “Scotty” Doohan, and VFX pioneer Douglass Trumbull will also be represented in the Celestis flight."
