Nicole was a vibrant spirit who brought joy and laughter into our lives and a smile that brighten the room. She had a passion for classic cinema, particularly the timeless black-and-white films featured on TCM. From the unforgettable performances of Gary Cooper in High Noon to the good looks of Clint Eastwood's spaghetti westerns, she had an undeniable love for these cinematic treasures. Her enthusiasm for these classics roped many of us to sit and watch till the movies end! When not watching vintage movies,

She was an avid reader and spent countless hours at the local library and Chamberlin’s Book Store. Her enthusiasm for reading was particularly evident in her admiration for author James Patterson, whose thrilling stories captivated her.

Nicole will be deeply missed by all who knew her as they cherish the memories of her kindness, generosity, and unyielding love for her family.
