A Celebration of Life is scheduled for 1:00 pm, Saturday, February 12, 2022, at First United Methodist Church of Plano, Texas 75074. Visitation will be held Sunday, February 6, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Charles W. Smith and Sons Funeral Home located at 2925 5th St, Sachse, Texas 75048 Nicole, known as Nickie to her family and friends, was born in Dallas, Texas to Jeffrey Don Idlett and Sarah Marie (Sutter) Idlett. Nicole was raised and attended schools in both Allen, Sachse, and Dallas, Texas. Nicole lived her entire life in the Carrollton and Plano areas, close to her children, family, and friends. Nicole's surviving children, Carmen (age 4) and Kazi (age 5 months) were the loves of her life. She loved them with all her heart; she was fiercely protective of them and wanted nothing but the best life for them. Her dream was to have a happy family with her children – a safe and caring normal life with and near the ones she loved. Nickie loved spending time with all her family; she enjoyed fun times in Rockport, Texas, and Lake Texoma and family vacations to Hawaii, Florida, Colorado, and Mexico. When she was younger, she took trips, often soccer-related, with her grandparents to Italy, Canada, Grand Cayman, Arizona, California, New York City, and Washington, DC. She was full of life and would lead everyone on joyous adventures, which created countless wonderful stories and cherished memories. Nicole loved animals and had a magical way with them. Growing up, to the consternation of her parents, she would bring all kinds of creatures home and provide them with love and temporary housing. Dogs and cats, fish from creeks, tadpoles and frogs from marshy areas, birds, ducklings, and lizards, were some of her more sedate and normal pets. Nicole was a strong, passionate person with a true entrepreneurial spirit, and merging that spirit with her love of animals, was very successful in her business of breeding and selling French Bulldogs. She purchased her first puppy, MoMo, from the Ukraine when she was only 17 years old. She was a self-taught expert at canine DNA and genetics and her puppies were sought after all over the world. Nicole was preceded in death by her grandpa, Don Idlett, and her great-grandparents, Nicholas and Anna Ricco, and great-grandmothers, Laverna Ricco and Faye Webb. She is survived by her daughter, Carmen Serenity Idlett-Irvin; her son Kazi; her parents, Jeff and Sarah Idlett and brother, Jacob Idlett; her grandparents, John and Lisa Sutter, Debbie and Mike Coffman, and Pat Idlett; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who loved her so very, very much. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you consider a donation in Nickie's name to Hope's Door New Beginning Center at www.hdnbc.org Services entrusted to Charles W. Smith & Sons Funeral Home of Sachse, Texas.
