Manchester Entrepreneur Passes Away from Cancer

A Manchester woman who built a business well-known by brides across eastern Iowa has passed away following a short battle with cancer.

Nichole Reicher died Monday at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City. She was 36.

She was an Earlville native who graduated from Beckman and went on to become a make-up artist and entrepreneur, starting her own beauty business in Cedar Rapids called Beauty Edit. Over the years, Nichole and her team assisted hundreds of brides across the area with airbrushed make-up styling on their special day – in addition to offering her clients skincare products and services, as well as fashion through her boutique. 

Nichole had been battling a rare and aggressive form of cancer since last year.

Funeral services will be held Saturday morning at St. Mary Catholic Church in Manchester.
