40 Years of Trusted Care
Ayton, Durham, Elmwood, Chesley and surrounding areas since 1984.
Suddenly on July 18, 2024 at her home in Australia, in her 41st year, Nicole passed away.
She graduated from Banting Memorial High School in Alliston and went off to pursue her education in Toronto for Applied Studies in Fashion Design.
Nicole had a passion for the outdoors and loved camping as well. Her greatest accomplishment was travelling, from tree planting in BC, vacationing in Mexico and the Dominican Republic, having her picture taken in front of a gushing geyser in Iceland, to touring extensively throughout Europe, then backpacking in South Africa (which she loved the most). As adventurous as she was, she made Australia her home after meeting her first love (who was Australian) and together they moved down under.
Loved and cherished daughter of Terry Drew of Hanover. Step sister of Adam (Natalie) and Todd (Ang) and their families. She will be dearly missed by her aunts and uncles Nadine (Greg) Parker, Patricia Whyte and cousins Sarah (Chris)Winterfield, Christopher(Brittany)Parker, 2nd cousins Gwen, Willow and Blake. Treasured lifelong childhood best friend of Valerie Routledge of Alliston. Dearest granddaughter of the late Keith and Geraldine Chute (poppa and grams) and also the late Evelyn and Gordon Drew (nan and pop).
Predeceased by her beloved mother Diane (Chute), step brother Wade Earl, uncle Lee Whyte.
To honour her wishes, cremation has taken place and private family inurnment of ashes will take place at a later date.
Memorial donations to the charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family. Arrangements entrusted to Mighton Funeral Home, Hanover.

Dear Terry
Words can't express how sorry we are to read in the local newspaper the sudden death of your dear daughter Nicole.
I remember the day like yesterday when you Terry called the Inspection office at CSA to let us girls know about the arrival of a beautiful baby girl. We were so happy for you all.
May all the wonderful memories keep Nicole, Diane and Wade's spirits alive. They were all taken way to soon.
Keeping you Terry in our thoughts and prayers.
Our deepest condolences.
Mark and Dale Blaire
Dear Terry
Words cannot express the sorrow and sadness for the loss of your wonderful daughter and the pain I feel for loosing a very special friend
Nicole was such an amazing person and I was fortunate to have her in my life as a work colleague and a friend
Her support and love during my own personal tragedy helped me and gave me strength to continue living...
She will never be forgotten
My thoughts are with you and the rest of the family
Terry,
I'm so sorry to hear of your daughter's passing. You're in my thoughts and prayers as you travel through this very difficult time.

How do you say goodbye to such a Ray of Sunshine in your life.
Terry, you raised a very amazing girl. I can't express my hurt and shock when I heard this tonight.
Nic was always there for me, we laughed and cried together even had a vino together while chatting over the phone for hours. She was my "call a friend" and made my life a better place.
I met Nic while working for the same company and I can honestly say meeting her is the highlight of my working life.
Forever in my heart ❤️
Terry, I would love to connect with you directly when you are ready. Please know Nicole will be dearly missed and forever loved.
Nic was the kindest person I have ever met and she truly derived joy from helping others. The world would be a better place if more people shared her wonderful outlook on life. I will always treasure the memories I have of travelling with her, the fun dinner parties she used to plan for us and the kindness she always displayed. She was one of a kind
- Kerrie BeaumontSo saddened and shocked to hear this news. I have so many fond memories of Nicole in highschool - she was always smiling and laughing and loved by everyone.
Sending love and condolences to her family and friends Xoxo
My heart aches to read this sad news about Nicole. I have very fond memories of time spent with her during our early years growing up in Tottenham together around the corner from each other. Memories of countless sleepovers, lots of bike riding adventures and trips to Wonderland where I'm sure I wasn't an ideal pal to bring being scared of rides! You will be missed by so many, Nicole. Rest easy friend ❤️
- Candice Oldfield (Murray)I am so very sorry to hear this. My deepest condolences to Nicole's family and friends.
