NICOLE MARY BLANCHE GOSSE
DECEMBER 29TH, 1945 - JULY 19TH, 2022
NICOLE MARY BLANCHE GOSSE has left us to embark on another journey to heaven on Tues, JULY 19, 2022. She gained her wings very suddenly and we are left with a huge void here on earth.
She was born Dec 29, 1945 in New Brunswick, Canada.
Those of us who loved her dearly … companion Peter Mechel; dearest friends Diana Duke & Chris Wegener, Don & Corry Jubenville, Lynn Dunn, Francine Drapeau and so many more!
The love we all shared with Nicole was boundless and unconditional!
During her 77 years, she lived life to the fullest! She was the most amazing caregiver to those around her.
She is the widow of the late Raymond Gosse (2021), and she also leaves 2 daughters and 3 grandchildren.
She spent many years caring for the late James Lilly (2019).
She loved to travel and did so with great enthusiasm and energy! She would organize the itinerary with great detail and make sure nothing was missed.
She visited so many countries and beaches and her favourite way to travel was cruising. She loved the big ships.
Nicole was self-less, giving and full of energy. She hardly stopped from morning to night and was always busy with something.
She had the most amazing heart and made friends with everyone … from the plumber and carpenter down to the local market cashier … it seemed everyone knew Nicole!
She was outgoing, energetic, flamboyant with an amazing attitude on life. She lived life on her terms and never allowed others opinions or boundaries to slow her down.
You could not ask for a better caregiver, FRIEND or confidante! If you were friends with Nicole, your life was truly blessed!
She danced through life without abandon and enjoyed EVERYDAY to the fullest!
She always tried to make the best of any situation and would go out of her way to ensure things were done right! You could certainly rely upon Nicole!
She shared stories of her life and wisdom and never held back … her heart was on her sleeve!
How do we move forward in this life without her? She inspired us with her stories, humour, wisdom, energy, confidence, vitality, kindness, a caring heart and so much love.
Let us remember her full of life and inspire us to do the same with our time on earth in her memory! She is dancing in the stars to her favourite country music!
Cremation has taken place.
A small celebration of Nicole’s life will be held FRIDAY, JULY 29 from 1-4pm at Nicole’s house, 5700 Blackwell Sideroad, unit 256, Sarnia, Ontario.
