Elizabeth “Elee” Nicholas

Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Elizabeth “Elee” Yvonne Nicholas was born on August 12, 2008 and peacefully passed away on July 30, 2022. While recovering from a non-accidental traumatic brain injury, Elee joined the Nicholas family on November 3, 2008 exactly one year before her baby sister and became the second of the “chosen children” in the family on her “Gotcha Day” May 20, 2011.
Though Elee was non-verbal, she would still communicate her preferences with facial expressions, vocalizations and body language. She will be remembered for her smile, joyful energy, family time, love of music, tickles, and nibbling on her toes. The donation of her kidneys saved the lives of two Midwestern women, one of whom was her home nurse.
She is survived by her parents Edward and Teree Nicholas, brother Charles Nicholas and sisters Emmadeen and Lucille Nicholas.
A Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, August 27, 2022 at 12:00 PM at Grace Church 8500 W. 159th St., Overland Park, KS 66223. Visitation will be 11:00 AM until 12:00 PM and following service until 2:00 PM.
We are so very sorry for the loss of Elle. May God bless her and keep her. ? Prayers for your family.
Elee was a blessed child and blessed to have been with the loving and giving Nicholas family through her short life.
And through her, now two other lives have been blessed.
It saddened me to hear that Teree and Ed had lost their sweet daughter Elee.A Pastor I knew would say ,that when someone dies he or she isn’t really lost because we know where they are going.This is true when a Christian passes.They go to be with the Lord in a beautiful and unimaginable heaven. Elee will never be forgotten.Her grandpa Bob was blessed when he was able to visit with her and all the Nicholases just 4 mos.bf he passed away here in Tx.Teree and Ed I too admire your love and your strength and dedication to your children.Please keep in touch with me. Love Carol
Elee was in my kindergarten class at Santa Fe Trail. I will always remember how much she loved circle time and all of the songs we sang. She was loved by her kindergarten peers and had some favorite friends. When she heard their voices her face would really light up. She was adored by her fabulous para, Ms Betty, who would be sad to learn of Elle’s passing. I remember feeling a positive energy from the sweet, little girl she was in kindergarten and I’m sure that everyone who knew her throughout her life, felt the same thing. She will be missed.
I am so grateful to have spent several years with Elee in my classroom. She lite up the room with her smile and laugh. She could turn anybody’s sour mood around with her giggle. I will always remember her “bird calls” and how amusing they were to her and everyone else. I know she will be missed by family many friends.
My heart goes out to the Nicholas family as they cope with the loss of their sweet little girl?
May memories bring you comfort as you adjust to life without Elee.
You are all in my prayers?
I keep seeing pictures of this very loved young woman. My heart goes out to all who loved her! My prayer is for God’s peace in your hearts as you learn to live without her and that one day the devastating pain of her loss will be replaced with smiles and complete peace!!
We love you guys. We will continue to pray for yall. I will always remember her smiles. Blessings to yall.
