Nicole Pharo Obituary

WATERLOO - Nicole Pharo, 46, passed away after a hard-fought battle with lung cancer on Wednesday, January 15, 2025 at Geneva General Hospital with her family by her side.

Nicole was born on December 26, 1978, in Pennsylvania to Deborah E. and George A. Pharo. Bouncing from a young delinquent in the inner city of Philadelphia to a marksman shooter in the Army (1997-2001); Nicole didn't understand the word "easy" she did understand what it meant to LOVE.

As an avid reader, cook, homemaker and volunteer, everything she did was filled with indescribable amount of love. Being a Girl Scout leader, coaching soccer, a theater mom, being a committee member for the village's Celebrate/Commemorate board, are all things she did, not for the praise but to make sure everyone around her felt seen and appreciated. Nicole was a woman who would never let someone struggle, even if it meant giving up her last dime. What she didn't have materially – she made up for in experiences, moments, and ways to make you feel like the world won't always suck.

Her family and her memory is and will always be her greatest achievement. She is survived by her husband, Wayne S. Woodard, Jr.; her children, Natalie Hunsberger, Nevaeh, Izabella and Aubrie Woodard and Colby Young; her brothers; George and Raymond Pharo and sister, Amber; her best, friend Sara Smolinski; and her Fur Babies, dogs; Louie, Koda and Roscoe, along with Cupcake, her cat; several nieces, nephew and cousins.

Friends and family are invited to call Friday, January 24, 2025, from 4:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., at the Mull Funeral Home, 113 Virginia Street, Waterloo. A military service will be held at 6:00 p.m. A celebration of her life will be held Sunday, January 26, at 12:00, noon, at the Seneca Falls American Legion, 48 State Street, Seneca Falls.

I didn't know Nicole or her family but reading her obituary gave me such hope for the world that there are such people in it that give love to all those that need it and how blessed your family and friends were to have Nicole in it. My heart is sad that you lost her at such a young age and that all that she gave to you will carry her in your heart forever. She will fly with the angels and be around you forever

I met Nicole through her husband, Wayne. I've been Wayne's hair stylist for a few years now and was blessed to have met such a beautiful soul, Nicole. I started doing her hair last year and always looked forward to seeing her. I only knew her a short time, but I will surely miss her and our conversations. I'm still in shock that she's gone,.. She will definitely be missed. Gone, but never forgotten. Fly high, Nicole,.. I will miss you.

I work with Nikki in January 2024 till June. She was a great boss and trainer. Made you laugh or tried to if you were having a bad day. She was a awesome person to be around. She will be missed.

Wayne and Family~Thinking of you All and keeping you in prayer. I am thankful I had the opportunity to know such a kind woman who embraced and loved life. It saddens me to know that my grandchildren won´t know their Aunt Nicole. We will keep her memory alive for them.
