Nicole Marie Angle, 45, of rural Larwill, died at 7:47 p.m. Sunday, February 27, 2022, in the company of family, at her home following a six-year battle with cancer.

Born December 18, 1976, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, she was a daughter of William Timothy and Jacquelyn Marie (Doxsee) Pauley. Growing up in Fort Wayne, she graduated from North Side High School in 1994. She continued her education at Harrison College, Fort Wayne.

She worked in the automotive field for O'Reilly Auto Parts and, more recently, Grote Automotive in sales. With her love of animals, she became a paid volunteer for many years at the Animal Welfare League of Kosciusko County.

Family was always her priority, and she adored her children and grandchildren. Growing an annual vegetable garden, zucchini was her specialty.

Surviving are her children, Darrian (Kristen) Krause of Waterloo, Domenyk (Lydia Ade) Stier of Plainfield, Ashton (Zachery Yoder) Stier of Fort Wayne, Abrien Stier of Fort Wayne, Haven Stier of Columbia City; grandchildren, Owen, Atticus, Ruby, Jace, Azahleia, and Oberon; her father, William T. Pauley of Kansas City, MO; her partner Thomas Angle of Larwill; and sisters, Natasha (Kris) Furnish of Fort Wayne, Elyssa Busche of Fort Wayne, Amity Pauley of Bloomington, Jade (Miguel) Gorgas, Jenna Cotton, Jodi (Dexter) Walker, Jillian (Aaron) Sherman and Jamie (Matthew) Golla all of Texas.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Jacquelyn; and a great aunt Betty M. Ufer.

Nicole's wish was not to have services.  Arrangements are in the care of Smith & Sons Funeral Home, Columbia City.

Memorials in Nicole's honor are to the Animal Welfare League of Kosciusko County.
