Corinne May Nichols

Corinne May Nichols, 90, of Ventura, known as “Connie” died Sunday, February 18, 2018, in her home, following a long illness. She was born March 15, 1927, on a farm in Walhalla, North Dakota and was the only girl with five brothers. She was a long time county resident, when the family moved to Ventura in her teens.

Connie was a telephone operator with Pacific Bell, and then an accomplished homemaker for many years. But her true passion was art, spending over 40 years exploring and developing her talents.

She was a devoted and loving wife, companion, friend, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Her greatest joy was spending time with family.

She is survived by son, Tim Hayden of Yerrington, NV; daughters, Karen Nichols Maceno of San Diego, and Cheri Nichols Wadlington, of Bakersfield; six grandchildren; and six great grandchildren.

A graveside service will be held at 11 a.m., on Monday, February 26th, at Ivy Lawn Memorial Park, 5400 Valentine Road, in Ventura, with The Reverend Dan Hull officiating.

Memorial contributions can be made to the American Cancer Society.

Arrangements are under the direction of the Ted Mayr Funeral Home, 3150 Loma Vista Road, Ventura, CA 93003. Condolences may be sent to TedMayrFuneralHome.com.
