Michelle Renée Nique passed away on August 22, 2017 at her home in Lawrence, Kansas. She was 61 years old.
Michelle was born on April 18, 1956 in Iowa City to Marjorie (née Cook) and Gabriele Bruccini. She earned a B.S. in Nursing from Creighton University and worked as a Registered Nurse in Omaha and Lawrence. Michelle had a passion for spiritual growth, jewelry design, and meaningful gift-giving.
Michelle is survived by her husband, Thomas Nique, her son, Tasson Nique and partner Monica Gonzalez of Salt Lake City, and her daughter Kaylen Rose and fiancé Evan Trimble of Bloomington, Indiana, as well as several close friends who she considered soul sisters.
A private memorial service will be held in early September.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to the American Heart Association, St. John’s the Evangelist Catholic Church, Lawrence, and St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center.
