Nicolle Lea Schraeder

Born on March 10, 1972, in the city of Denver, Colorado, Nicolle Lea Schraeder captivated the hearts of those around her until the day she peacefully passed on November 18, 2024, at the age of 52. Nicolle's life was a heartfelt symphony of dedication, compassion, and unconditional love, where every note was thoughtfully placed and beautifully cherished. 

Residing in Littleton at the time of her passing, Nicolle's journey was one filled with remarkable achievements and a community-driven spirit. A Christian, her faith was the philosophical backbone guiding her life. Nicolle was a true trailblazer in her career, transitioning from an accomplished Registered Nurse to an experienced Nurse Practitioner, and amassing multiple degrees and master degrees along the way. Her dedication to healthcare was outshone only by her dedication to her family. 

Married for 24 years to her high school sweetheart, Kyle Schraeder, the bond they shared was legendary, born of youthful dreams and manifesting into a lifelong partnership. Nicolle and Kyle's story was a saga of love that began in high school, endured brief separations, and culminated gloriously with marriage in 2000. The geographic shifts may have taken them to places like Dallas, California and Seattle, but Nicolle always yearned for the majestic embrace of the mountains, eventually leading their family back to the comforting Colorado landscape to raise their children near the peaks she so adored. 

Nicolle's greatest joy was her role as a mother to her three wonderful boys: Zachary, and twins William and Samual, whose lively spirits filled her heart with pride. Her children were the lucky recipients of her endless support and undying encouragement. She was the kind of mom everyone wanted in their corner, always shouting the loudest cheer from the sidelines and infusing every pursuit with energy and positivity.

Actively engaged with her community, Nicolle found purpose in nurturing the potential of young people. Her faith in goodness and her belief in every individual's potential were hallmarks of her character. 

In her passing, she leaves behind her greatest achievements—her loving husband Kyle and her three incredible sons, to whom she entrusted her love, wisdom, and legacy. As requested, a memorial service will be held in December, with her ashes to be lovingly scattered in the mountains she cherished. 

Nicolle and Kyle knew the profound depths of love for over 38 years, and together, they crafted a life teeming with affection, adventure, and community. In loving memory, amidst tears and cherished memories, we celebrate Nicolle Lea Schraeder—a beacon of love, an example of a life lived to its fullest, and a soul whose journey has profoundly touched us all.
