Eileen Nichols, 71, of Connersville, was peacefully called to heaven with all of her children by her side Thursday, March 13, 2014, at Reid Hospital in Richmond. A Brookville native, Eileen was born Sept. 7, 1942, to Bertie and Hazel Marie Wehr Snapp and attended Brookville area schools. She was a member of Calvary Baptist Church. Eileen had been employed at Fayette Regional Home Health and Hospice and had worked for several years at The Lincoln Centers. She was a wonderful Mother, Grandmother and friend and touched everyone in her presence like a ray of sunshine. You always wanted to be around her. Her greatest passion in life was the care she gave to others professionally and personally which always ended with a smile. Eileen loved being outdoors where she could feel the sun on her face, watching her garden and flowers grow. Another love she had was mushroom hunting and nurturing people, especially her children and grandchildren. She was well known for her fabulous home-baked pies. Eileen will be sadly missed but very loved forevermore.
