Nicole Reynolds Obituary

Nicole E. Reynolds

Mukwonago - Born to Eternal Life on June 17, 2020 at the age of 24. Beloved, amazing, and beautiful daughter of Curt & Linda Reynolds. Cherished sister and best friend of Bradley Reynolds. Survived by her grandparents - Jean Wallner and Patricia and Duke Hohlstein. Also survived by several, and we mean several, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, family, and friends. Nicole also left behind her loyal and faithful service dog Blaine, and our pets Belle and Ruby.

Nicole was a talented musician, an avid reader, an academic whiz, accomplished home chef, and the officially designated "Toughest Fan" of Jukebox the Ghost, per the band's members. She loved animals of all sorts. She made friends everywhere she went and was an inspiration to many. She loved spending time at our home in Naples and visiting with friends at the pool. Nicole especially loved getting to the beach for gorgeous views and enjoying a cocktail while taking in beautiful sunsets. It brought her great peace and joy.

She loved her family and friends very much and touched people's lives everywhere she went. Her positive attitude, sense of humor, and beautiful spirit shone through despite all her complex medical challenges, inspiring everyone she met.

She was a shining light of hope and joy and will be truly missed by everyone.

In memory of Nicole, please consider donations to the pet rescue in Mukwonago - Bichon and Little Buddies Rescue. http://www.bichonrescues.com Before Nicole's health declined, she volunteered and fostered dogs from here, and she would be overjoyed to have donations in her memory.

A private family memorial will be held in the near future.

Another year has gone by, and I am sure Nicole is missed as much as ever. Such a sweet girl with so much to offer. I continue to think about you and pray for you, Curt, Linda, and Bradley. I know that there is no such thing as "closure " when you have lost a loved one, especially one who died so young. Your life is never the same after such a loss. I hope that you can still feel Nicole´s beautiful spirit and her love.

I am so blessed to have shared so much with Nicole, as our dogs were litter mates, we had a lot in common. I often think how Moira has been a blessing in my life because she helped me take care of my dad for a number of years. I couldn´t have done it without her. I imagine Nichole would agree and say that the same was true for her with Blaine. But more than that, Blaine is really still serving her by being a comfort to you, her family.

As the anniversary of her death approaches, I have been thinking of Nicole and trying to make sense of why people who bring so much light into the world are taken away at such a young age. There will never be a reason that will ever make sense to us. Up until a year before she died I hadn´t seen Nicole since she was a little girl. Through the years I did run into her Aunt Tracy from time to time. She always spoke in such glowing terms of her niece. How positive she was and how active she was. How much Nicole loved life. I can´t imagine how much her family misses her. I continue to keep you in my prayers.

Nichole and I were friends on instagram (but really more), I found her through a chance encounter between her and my daughter. My daughter decided that our dogs looked SO much alike that they must be sister and brother. Thats where I rolled my eyes until she repeated their conversation. A phone call to the breeder confirmed it. So I found Nichole on instagram and loved her instantly. Because our dogs are litter mates I guess I felt like we had a special bond. We would ask one another funny dog questions that were specific to the Collie or to the circumstances of their upbringing because theY each were over a year old when we got them. It was fun for both of us. Nichole was such an amazing woman and an inspiration to many. That cannot be under stated. I never met Nichole face to face as Id planned but I cried myself to sleep when I got the news.

Nicole could light up any room, she had the gift of making (even strangers) feel welcome. Her joy was .contagious. Her presence was always a happy time, though we had so little of her when she visited Naples. This be known, her aura made the Sun shine brighter,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and this, too, was her gift to those of us that had the
privilege of knowing Nicole.

May you rest in Peace knowing you left a Mark with so many and you will never be forgotten . God Bless You!

Nicole and I over the last two years became good friends via Facebook and texting. She was such a great friend, always kind, understanding, gave great advice, and always there for a laugh. Nicole was there any time I needed someone to talk to even when we both couldnt sleep.
I admired how positive she always was despite all of her challenges. She was one of my closest friends. I will miss her dearly.
