Nicole Turcotte -Obituary


"This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine."

In loving memory of Nicole Turcotte, whose compassion for others, zest for life, engaging smile, and warm hugs will be intensely missed. She was a caring and loyal friend.

Nicole was born in Randolph, Vermont on June 13, 1980 and died on July 31, 2013 in Fishers, Indiana. She graduated from Union 32 High School and then earned a degree as a veterinary technologist from Vermont Technical College. After graduation she worked as a vet tech for a large animal veterinarian in Brookfield, Vermont and later was hired by Purdue University to work in their large animal clinic. Nicole returned to college and received a bachelor's degree from Purdue University in information technology. She was working as a network manager before her death.

Never afraid to try new things, Nicole had many interests such as gardening, triathlon competition, sports, and animals. She had a keen mind and a knack for medical and technological matters.

Surviving family members include her long-term partner Greg Schrimper of Fishers, IN, mother Lyn Turcotte and her brother Justin Turcotte, both of Montpelier, VT, sister Amy Donahue of South Easton, MA, and father F Mark Turcotte of Vilcabamba, Ecuador.

Because of Nicole's love for animals, donations may be made to your local Humane Society or Animal Rescue League.

Celebrations of Nicole's life will take place in Indiana and Vermont at a later date.
