“Gone too soon”
It is with great sadness, we announce the passing of our dear sweet Nicole in Hospice on January 16th. She fought an amazing, inspirational and courageous battle against her cancer and stayed positive until the end. She touched so many lives and hearts in her short time with us. She leaves behind her soulmate, best friend and loving husband, Scott and her two beautiful daughters, Brooke and Jada. Also grieving her loss is her mother and father, Carole and Tony Chartier; her in-laws, Norm and Betty Thomson; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Colleen Moore and Steve Thomson and Donna and Dean Thomson. There are many aunts, uncles and cousins that will miss her greatly. Nicole was born and raised on the mainland. For the past 17 years, she has worked for Dr. Bill Stankoven at the Mayfair Dental Centre. She loved her job and her second family as she referred to Dr. Bill and her fellow workers. We must thank all of the wonderful friends that supported our family with love, hugs and food during this time. A very special thank you to Claire McCutcheon, Karen and Warren Wright, Rob Heppell, Dr. Bill and Lorna Stankoven and to Mark Crisp, plus all of Scott’s fellow firefighters that have been there for him every step of the way, Dr. Elizabeth Grant, Dr. Christine Jones, CRD Nurse Stephanie Steele and Hospice Doctors and Nurses. Bless you all. We have wonderful memories to cherish forever and know that she will be with us each and every day. Her faith, hope, loving personality and beautiful smile will be treasured by us all.

I am so saddened to hear of Nicole’s passing. Although I did not know her well, she always had a warm smile for me when I saw her at the school. My thoughts are with you and your family and friends.

We are so sorry for your loss. Nicole was such a special person and was way too young to leave us. I remember when Nicole, Jen and I were all pregnant together at the Wesco Christmas party. Girls, please know your mom was loved.
Thinking of you.

I am extremely sorry for your loss. I met Nicole about 4 years ago in 4H. She was a mom that was there for her kids and play such an actual role in their lives. She was fun to chat with. It truly was a pleasure meeting her and being in 4H with her. I hope you cherish the memories forever of her as she smiles down upon your family.
Again my condolences, truly a beautiful person!
