Nicole Danielle Prothro

She passed away on December 11, 2025, surrounded by her family.

This cheerful angel beat the odds, surviving 16 surgeries, a few dozen serious diagnoses and constant medical appointments, always with a giggle and a smile.

Nicole loved Sesame Street; listening to Christmas music and watching "Home Alone" during the holidays with Mom and Alyssa; singing to her Elmo CD in the car with Grandma; goofing around and laughing with Granddad; smiling with Aunt Mandie; dancing and playing with Sito; and going to a small rodeo in Dubach with Mom, Alyssa and the Hill Family.

She was predeceased by her Uncle Caleb, great grandfather, Frank; great grandmother, JoAnn; great grandparents, Elsie and Earl; great grandparents, K.R. and Bobbie; and great-great grandmother Gladys.

She is survived by her mother, Katherine; her twin sister, Alyssa; her Aunt Mandie; her maternal grandparents, Lisa and Jim; her paternal grandparents, Lisa and Carl; her beloved great grandmother, Della (Sito); great grandfather, Doyle; great-great Aunt Betty; her great aunts and uncles and numerous cousins; including Elsie and Connor; and her father, Joshua.

Special thanks to our faithful support team: Dr. Anumukonda, Dr. Natorianni, Dr. Penukonda, Shriners, the staff of Lauve's Pediatric Day Healthcare; Brice at the Office for Citizens with Developmental Disabilities; Jerrica with Easter Seals; and the many outstanding therapists, surgeons, and medical staff who have cared for and loved her for 15 years.

Everyone is invited to an outdoor Celebration of Life at the Amphitheater on Thursday, December 18, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. at Hill Crest Memorial Park, 601 Hwy 80 in Haughton, followed by a private burial with immediate family only.
