We deeply mourn the sudden tragic passing of Nicole Vanessa Cole of Cumming, GA on December 14, 2012, at the age of 41. Nicole was born in New Brunswick, NJ on November 9, 1971 to the delight of her parents James & Benigna Willman and older sister Robin Marie of Highland Park, NJ. Nicole was joined 4 years later by another sister, Kirsten Lenore. Nicole was raised in Highland Park, NJ, attended St. Ladislaus Grammar School in New Brunswick followed by the Highland Park school system. At 17, she met her soul mate and best friend of 24 years, Chandler Trent Cole of New York City, NY. Nicole and Chandler moved to the sunny state of Florida where they attended college in Boca Raton. She received her Associate s Degree from Palm Beach Community College at the FAU Campus. Their love story took them to Ocho Rios, Jamaica, where Nicole and Chandler married in a quiet yet exotic waterfall ceremony on April 24, 1994 to the joy of their parents. They resided in Boca Raton and Coral Springs Florida for 17 years, before moving to Cumming, Georgia in 2006. Nicole was a devoted wife, homemaker, and mother to their 4 shih-tzu fur children. She was a loving daughter, and her devotion and admiration for her mother went far beyond words. Nicole was a best friend and confidant to her 2 adoring sisters, and a fun-loving aunt to her 3 beautiful nieces. Nicole was an avid animal lover since childhood and at a very early age knew that animals were her passion. Nicole s extended family has always included dogs and cats, and at times even included birds, hamsters and fish. It was through this life experience that she developed a deep love and appreciation for the innocence of these beautiful creatures. Throughout the years, family, friends, and neighbors recognized Nicole s deep dedication and devotion to the well being of not only her own fur children, but any furry friends she came in contact with. She was an advocate of the A.S.P.C.A and the Humane Society, and she devoted her life to protecting the interests and welfare of all animals. Nicole eventually ran her own pet-sitting and dog walking business, Forest Brooke Pet Care. Nicole s beautiful smile, twinkling eyes, and supportive & caring nature touched all who knew her. Her ability to converse with strangers and turn them into friends was truly uncanny. She had an innocent child-like way of the world, spreading love and joy, and a natural way of bringing out the best in others. Nicole supported and assisted others with their physical, emotional and personal ailments. She gave love unconditionally and wanted nothing material in her life, only peace, love and joy. Nicole is survived by her FYF husband and best friend Chandler T. Cole and her fur babies, Bailey, Fritzy & Buttercup, Mother Benigna Molnar Willman of Highland Park, NJ, Father James David Willman of New Brunswick, NJ, Sister Kirsten Lenore & brother-in-law Barnabas Toth of Cumming, GA, Sister Robin Marie & brother-in-law James Brown and nieces Taylor Marie, Emily Dale, and Ashley Jule of Ridgefield, CT, Godmother Jeanne Quinto of Metuchen, NJ, Uncle Martin & Aunt Patricia Molnar and cousin Christopher of Franklin Park, NJ, Aunt Kathy Holusha of West Orange, NJ, Uncle Fred Willman of Washington, DC, and many cousins.
