Legacy
The name Nicoma carries a powerful meaning rooted in Native American heritage. Often interpreted as "stand together" or "do as I promise," the name is also associated with the spirit of a great wandering warrior—one who moves through life with strength, purpose, and resilience.
 
Marie Nicoma Brannon embodied many of the qualities reflected in her name. She found joy in tending her flowers, preparing meals for those she loved, and preserving the harvest from her garden through home canning. Among her favorite recipes was a classic lemon meringue ice box pie, a treasured tradition that continues to bring thoughts of family gatherings, shared meals, and simpler times.
 
Today, her story lives on through her descendants and through every flame lit in her honor. Each time you purchase a Nicoma candle, a percentage of the proceeds are donated to the National Genealogical Society. With your generous support, the National Genealogical Society continues to build the future of the genealogical community through innovative programs, new education opportunities, and public records advocacy.
