Nichole D Jasch

Heaven got a little rowdier and a lot more fun. Nichole Danielle Jasch, 44, of Indianapolis, Indiana, passed away on May 31, 2026. Nichole was born in Chicago, Illinois to her mother Mary Jensen (Madey) and late father Richard D. Jasch Jr.

Nichole was a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) who supported her community on the front lines during the COVID-19 pandemic and through other public health efforts. She was a breast cancer survivor, a fighter, and an advocate for others facing similar diagnoses.

Nichole used her creative talents to spread joy into the life of others through jewelry making, custom clothing, home decorating, and house renovating. There was no project she could not craft into something unique and beautiful.

Nichole will be remembered for her humor, wit, compassion, and the deep love she had for people and animals.

Nichole is survived by partner, John McDonald; her dogs, Behr and Odie, whom she loved as her own children; Jacqueline “Jackie” Bandy (Jensen), whom she lovingly brought into this world; Jackie’s husband Christopher “CJ” Bandy; and Jackie’s daughter, Meadow Madison-Nichole Bandy, whose arrival she eagerly anticipated; her siblings, Lindsey Jasch and Richard Jasch III; her mother, Mary Jensen; her stepfather, Eric Jensen; her lifelong best friend, Misty Vega; and the many children that lovingly knew her as “Aunty Coco.”

Nichole was preceded in death by her father, Richard D. Jasch Jr.; her grandmother, Marie Madey; her grandfather Walter Madey; and her great-grandmother Caroline Jasch. Nichole will be deeply missed by her cousins, family and all that knew loved her, and her memory will live on in their hearts.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Illinois, with details to be announced.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Indiana humane Society (Indy Humane) in her name.
