This memorial website was created in loving memory of our shining light, Nicole Guilliams who left us way too soon on March 3rd, 2020. May we all gather here in this space to feel her energy, to dance to her favorite music, to honor her incredibly special life, and to share stories about her so that those who loved her can grieve together and feel support.
Nicole had recently moved to the property of her dreams in Fulton, MO where she could watch each sunset from her swing that hung from a beautiful old oak tree in her front yard, listen to birds sing, find peace in her meditation room, and take space from the world to fall in love with herself all over again.
She was a loving and thoughtful daughter, born to Dennis and Marsha Guilliams August 25th, 1975 and was the sister to her loving brothers, Chad and Kurt. There is no doubt that her brother Ryan (who passed in Feb, 1991) met her with open, loving arms, with her dogs River and Sampson trotting close behind when she arrived in heaven! She was deeply in love with her son Druie, and she is the main reason his heart is so big and resilient. She was the one in the family who was always finding ways for us to gather, she was the collector of treasured family furniture and heirlooms, and she was the friend you always wanted to call first when you needed support. She was deeply loved by her Aunts, Uncles, Cousins who are scattered all over the country, and was adored by her sweet niece, Samantha who shares her love of sweets and non-stop dance parties. Nicole's laugh was full and proud, her sense of humor was dry and sarcastic, she was stubborn, self-assured, spoke her truth always, and she was passionate about music and spending quality time outdoors.
When she passed, her heart and both kidneys were donated to three separate individuals drastically improving their quality of life. What a gift!! Even in death she continues to help others, and just knowing that her heart is still beating somewhere on this planet helps bring us solace. While there aren't enough words to describe our loss, please leave a tribute here to honor all the many ways Nicole has touched our lives.
