Nicole Nanette (Kotarski) Newcom, November 7, 1963 to September 6, 2021

Wellshe did it. Nicole took another spectacular bungee jump! The cord snapped, and she floated out into the galaxy. Luckily, it was Ski-daddys birthday and he flew by, grabbed her by the hand, and took her to the safe place. You ALL know the story will be embellished for eternity, and there will be boisterous laughter throughout the heavens. She saw as much of this world as she could, and befriended countless humans and animals (except for those birds at the Knoxville Zoo). If you ever needed a pep talk to keep you going, Nicole was your call. She was the eternal optimist (like her mother), and loved all of you dearly (you all know who you are). But she loved no one more than her son, Declan.

In memory of Nicole, be kind to someone today.

Due to COVID, the family will postpone a gathering until a safer time in the near future.
