Winifred Louise (Beard) Nick, age 93, passed away Thursday, October 23, 2014, from complications of a stroke. Louise was born on May 12, 1921, in Parsons, Kansas, the daughter of Elmer and Hazel Beard. Growing up during the Great Depression, Louise and her brother, Bill, learned to be independent and resourceful. Eager for adventure, she spent a year working as a house maid in California before returning to the Midwest.
While working at an egg processing plant in Kansas City, Kansas, Louise was introduced by mutual friends to her future husband, Mathew Frank Nick. The two were married on April 26, 1941, and made a home together for 45 years in Kansas City, Kansas, raising four children.
During her many years as a homemaker, Louise infused creativity into her home—painting landscapes, sewing clothing for her children, serving as the neighborhood "Tomato Lady" with her large garden, and becoming a gifted crochet artist. Always a lover of animals, particularly cats, Louise adored her pets. She will doubtless be elated to reunite with Ping, Toby, Lee-Boy, Muffin, Mike, Tilly, Kit-Kat and Sushi.
Louise was preceded in death by her husband, Mathew; her brother, Bill and her beloved son, Matthew Jr. She left three daughters, as well as five grandchildren and four great- grandchildren. Private funeral services were held.
