Nicole Helen (LeGassey) Cohen, 45, of Farmington, formerly of Bristol, loving wife and best friend of Seth J. Cohen passed away after an extended illness on Thursday, August 24, 2023. Nicole was born on August 8, 1978, in Waterbury, one of five loving children of Marie (Clement) LeGassey of Oakville and the late Richard LeGassey. Nicole was a 1996 graduate of Watertown High School and went on to earn her degree in accounting from Naugatuck Valley Community College.

I couldn't believe it when Rick told me Nikki passed away. She was like a sister to me. Our friendship was awesome and irreplaceable. The whole Lagassey Family has my deepest sympathies for your loss. God now has a beautiful Angel in his kingdom. I know Nikki will be watching over all of you including Seth.

God Bless all of you.

Dear Seth & both sides of the family
I was just so shocked to hear my son Brett say he was attending Seth´s wife´s funeral tomorrow. The loss is so devastating. Such a young beautiful woman. The family has been through so much and the love you have between you all, as well as God, I know will provide comfort. But a loss that will be felt forever more. Seth you may not remember me from school but Rebecca is a dear friend of mine. Please know I will be thinking of you as well as everyone and most certainly keeping you all in my prayers. If there is any way we can help please let me know.
With much love
Aimee (Kevetos) Richmond

My name is Kathy Gregory, and I entertain at Touchpoints a few times a month.
I usually play for the people in the Memory Care unit, but anyone can come listen, and Nicole started coming.

Of course, the people in that unit were a lot older than Nicole, so I felt bad having her hear just old songs that she didn't know.

It wasn't until about a month ago that Nicole asked if I knew anything from "the 90's" .

I said no - but that I would learn some for her.
The first songs I learned weren't her style of music, so I sat with her after my program and she gave me a list of groups she liked.

It took a couple weeks more, but I learned a handful of her favorite songs.

The day we were supposed to meet - she had to go to the doctor - so we had to wait until August 21st to get together.

On that Monday, I did my show, and then went to look for her.
I told her we'd have to just sing these songs together (because they were too new for my usual audience Lol!),
so, we went outside to one of the patios and we sang about 5 songs together.

That was the last time I saw her.

I will never forget her, and will always cherish that special time when we sang together the songs I learned - just for her.

My condolences to her family.

I remembered when I was taking accounting at Naugatuck community college, I was struggling with debits and credits, the checks and balances system in accounting, she was gracious enough to come over the house and help me grasp the concept. I will miss her post on FB as well. Rest well.

Marie, I am very sorry to hear the news of Nikki´s passing. Please know that I will be thinking and praying for you over the next few weeks. Sorry I won´t be able to be there, be out of the state, for the funeral. Again, I´ll be thinking of you & love you.

I will miss Nicole. She was so sweet and cute. She texted me often to tell me what activities or foods she was enjoying and I was always happy to hear from her. She is an Angel now for all of the family, and for me. May she rest in peace.
