Nicole Karge Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Cheney Funeral Home - Phelps on Jan. 30, 2026.
Nicole F. Karge age 53, died peacefully at home on Tuesday January 27, 2026 surrounded by her family.

There will be no calling hours or services.

It is requested that memorial contributions may be made in memory of Nicole to Ontario-Yates Hospice 756 Pre-Emption Road Geneva, NY 14456.

Wife, mother, daughter, sister, stepmother these are just a few ways to describe Nicole, but when she shined the most, she was herself always caring. Her devotion to caring for her family was filled with so much compassion and love, she was the light that bopped around the party, always curious asking about the past or sharing her stories and experiences.

You could find Nicole outdoors enjoying the fresh country air, whether it be on the Canal Trail hiking or to the top of the Adirondack's or exploring down in the Luray Caverns! A glow of a bonfire and a group of her closest family would always attract her to sit and laugh while swatting away mosquitoes.

The winter time didn't offer so much openness, but you could find her playing cards with friends and family. She loved to bake and craft and hunt for some good antiques. Whenever Nicole was around, she was accompanied by good music, laughter, stories, and family, all of her favorite things.

She is survived by her Husband of 35 years Jason Karge,

Children Amber, Brandon, Jake(Brittany) Karge, Many Adopted children;

Grand Children Grace and Hailey.

Her Mother Terri Tandle (Norman), Father Richard Brinkman, Brothers Richard(Jennifer)Brinkman, Christopher Brinkman, and many other friends and family.

Predeceseased by Her Grandson Warren "Lil Man" Karge in 2018
