She loved decorating immediately after Thanksgiving and enjoying the holiday season. Nicole was also a big fan of J.R.R. Tolkien and his works. Above all, Nicole loved her family with all her heart, including her dog too. She loved taking the family dog for walks in the morning and spending whatever time she could with her children and sister.
Surviving are her children, Nicholas William and Ashley Elizabeth Ballas, sister, Gina (Mike) Montani, along with several nieces, Christina Ballas, Melissa (Jason) Schnur, Victoria Montani and one great niece, Katarina Schnur.
