Connie Nichols, one of the founders of the Tick-Tock Day Care Center in Toughkenamon and a longtime member of Kennett Friends Meeting, died recently. I think the sweet, fitting tribute shared by her son Rich on social media is worth reprinting:
"Connie is survived by husband, Bill Nichols, and children, Jim, Nancy, Rich, and Roger, nine grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. In addition to raising her family, she touched many lives over her time in Kennett Square.
Connie's first restoration was the Bayard Taylor house in Cedarcroft in 1958. Her proudest moment was the opening of the Tick Tock Day Care Center. Many houses and projects followed, including the Gregg house on Chandler Mill Road, a couple of South Broad Street houses, and two West Grove historic properties.
She has been a happy resident of Kendal at Longwood for 18 years. A reception will be held at Kendal on Friday, March 18 at 12:30.
In lieu of flowers or donations, please save an old house."
