JILL ANNETTE NICKOLAUSON
23 March 1960 - 12 March 2017

On a chilly March 23 March 1960) afternoon, to our family a baby girl was born.
To our lives, she brought joy.
She was soft spoken, kind loved by all who knew her.
She was intelligent, bright and beautiful.
She was a dutiful daughter.
A confidant and best friend to her siblings
Adored by her children. A friend to all she met.
She always had a kind word and helping hand to those in need of one.
She would laugh with you cry with you, and pray with you.

On a chilly March (12 March 20170 afternoon, Jill was called back home.
She dances now with her son, her dad and her brother.
She is without pain and without sickness.
Her beauty forever preserved.
A shining star among the angels.
She is the wave of comfort in times of sorrow.
She is the wind that blows across our faces.
She is the brightest twinkle in the night sky.

She is the wife of Richard Nickolauson, daughter of Richard and Connie Krogedal; sister of Doreen Archuleta, Scott Krogedal, Jennifer Beatty, and Deanna Keller; mother of Jodie Reece and Mathew Nickolausonn, a friend to many and our angel.
