Nicoline was also predeceased by her siblings; Andrea "Anne" Byerwalters, Joseph Basco, Marcelino "Butch" Basco, and Margaret Rose Basco.

Throughout her long and fulfilling career at Daughters of Sarah, Nicoline epitomized compassion and dedication. Caring for patients with a genuine love that radiated from her soul, she touched countless lives with her kindness and empathy.

Beyond her professional life, Nicoline was the heart and soul of her family. As the matriarch, she nurtured and supported each member in every endeavor, always ready with a listening ear and wise advice (whether you wanted it or not). She truly enjoyed their Holiday traditions, planning her menu 6 months in advance to ensure everyone would attend. Her love knew no bounds and her family was her greatest source of pride and joy.

In her leisure time, Nicoline found solace and joy in simple pleasures. Whether being entertained for hours in card games, up at all hours of the night solving word puzzles, or engrossed in her beloved Western Channel, she found contentment in the little things. She cherished every opportunity from visits with family members chatting over coffee, lunch outings, and spontaneous camping trips which always had to include fishing. Nicoline's presence lit up every room she entered, her warm loving hugs, joyful laughter, and unwavering kindness leaving an indelible mark on all who crossed her path. Her memory will be carried forward in the countless stories shared by those whose lives she touched, each tale a testament to her boundless love and true badassary. As we bid farewell to Nicoline Miller, we take comfort in knowing that her spirit lives on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know and love her. Though she may no longer walk among us, her love will continue to guide and inspire us for generations to come.
