Nicole Mikkelsen (Cole), aka TheBohoBuddhist, passed away peacefully at her new home in Cambridge on Tuesday November 16th, 2021 in her 30th year.
Beloved and cherished daughter of Allan Mikkelsen and Jayne Drennan, loving sister of Sarah and Ben Christiaans and doting aunt of Cecilia (Cece).
Cherished granddaughter of Hans and Grethe Mikkelsen (both deceased), Clarke and Beth Drennan (both deceased). Beloved niece of Jan Mikkelsen and Maria Mikkelsen (deceased) and Mary Ellen Gerster, Preben and Joanne Mikkelsen, Marilyn Mikkelsen and Ralph Plath, Ron DeVries (deceased) and Lamoine Mikkelsen. Liz Drennan and Dan Walsh (deceased), Joan Maloney and Larry Maloney (deceased). Cousin to Jamye and Noelle Mikkelsen, Emma, Patrick and Sophie Mikkelsen, Daryn Mikkelsen, Tania and Brian Rooney, Logan and Carter Rooney, Carrie Davison and Ryan Davison (deceased), Hannah (deceased), Avery and Jordyn Davison, Conor and Mieke DeVries, Jaycee Maloney (deceased), Kris and Becca Maloney, Lynden and Will Maloney, Kate Maloney and Jared Price, Jayla and Nichole (little Nichole) Krawchuk and Brendan Price.
After earning her diploma in Special Events Management from George Brown College, Nicole went on to become the proud owner of TheBohoBuddhist, a handmade design studio of eco friendly, cozy and designer crafts. By combining her love for her Danish heritage and her experience in design, she brought a little Danish ‘hygge’ into more than 600+ homes across the globe since opening her business in October of 2020.
Watching and cheering on the Raptors, Leafs and especially the Jays was a favourite evening pastime while eating dinner in front of the TV. When she was lucky enough to attend a game in person, she was sure to show off her super-fandom with a team jersey and accessory or two and scream herself hoarse in support.
Nicole was generous with her time and love for the people and things she cared most about. Affectionately known as Aunt Coco, Nicole was a proud aunt to both Cecilia and her furry brother Leo. She held a special place in her heart (and next to her on the couch) for all animals, from dogs to bunnies, cats, guinea pigs and the occasionally chippy at the cottage. She also looked forward to family gatherings, reconnecting with new and old friends and spending as much time at the cottage as she could.
A competitive dancer through High School and University, she continually found new ways to express her creativity through interests such as photography, music, and organizing events for family and friends. We are all fortunate to have known her generous spirit and will miss her and her smile dearly.
Cole has been a bright light in our lives and will always continue to be.
We will be celebrating Nicole’s life on Tuesday November 23rd at Lounsbury Funeral Home. We invite friends who wish to join us to celebrate in person to attend at 2:15pm with a reception to follow at 4pm. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, all persons attending must be double vaccinated and will be required to show proof upon entering.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation at www.jdrf.org/
