Nicole Desiree Green Vigil

Nicole (Nicki) Desiree Green Vigil, 53, of Torrance/Lomita, CA, passed away on July 22, 2023. She was a loving individual who deeply cherished her family and maintained many close friends. She was an incredibly outgoing individual making friends and conversing with people everywhere she went. Nicole had a passion for music and could often be found attending concerts and live shows. She was also a talented writer, known for how much (and how quickly) she read, and her fondness for all things Disney. She loved all animals and would always be seen smiling whenever around dogs. She lived most of her life in the South Bay of California and loved the beauty of the ocean.

She was often the first to help and support friends and strangers alike, always finding time for others that needed it. She sponsored high school students in need of support and aided their transition to college, would often donate to organizations that helped animals and found them homes, volunteered at school events - especially for her children, housed foreign exchange students, and would always be trying to connect those in her life with resources to uplift them. She was incredibly giving and caring and would never show judgment to anyone she met. She lived her life treating others with grace always and lived by a motto to always show love and kindness to all because "you have no idea what a person has gone through today or in life".

Nicole is survived by her three children: Logan Vigil, her eldest; Blake Vigil, her youngest son; and Liliana Miyashiro, her youngest and only daughter. She was preceded in death by her mother, Sally Zukle, and her stepfather, Ribble Green.

In her educational journey, Nicole attended Wingrock Elementary for her primary schooling and later graduated from Torrance High School in 1988. She further pursued her education at Washington State University graduating with a B.A. in Sociology.

Nicole had held many different jobs. She owned and operated an online fashion business for many years and then proceeded to work for recruiting agencies and as a bookkeeper for several businesses. In her last job, she recently was appointed CFO of a local medical clinic.

Nicole's celebration of life is planned for Saturday, August 26th. Contributions in her memory can be made to organizations that support those in or seeking recovery from addiction, as she had worked hard to become and maintain her sobriety. This would be a meaningful way to honor her.

Please join us in remembering Nicole and celebrating her life. She was a truly one-of-a-kind person who was deeply loved and will forever be missed.
