Nicholle Gonzalez, age 52, of Tyler, Texas, passed away on October 21st.
Nicholle was born on June 26, 1973, in El Paso, Texas, to Melissa "Liz" Whitney and Arnold Gonzalez. The youngest of three children, she and grew up in Canyon, Texas, before moving to Richardson. There, she graduated from Berkner High School and played the flute in the Mighty Ram Marching Band. After she settled in Tyler, Nicholle dedicated more than 25 years to Goodwill Industries and was an active member of Pinebrook Baptist Church.
Nicholle was loved by everyone who knew her. She was known for her cheerful nature, independent spirit, and a smile that could light up any room. She loved to laugh and never missed an episode of Wheel of Fortune.

Additionally, she is survived by stepsiblings Wayne England, Mike England, Bobby England (Brenda), Tyffani Peters Sedgwick, and Chad Peters (Sandy).
