NICOLE KUNDRAT, 47
(nee Zagorac)

Passed away peacefully On Saturday June 8, 2024 surrounded by her loving family.

To know Nicole was to know the most incredible wife, loving mom, daughter, sister, aunt, Kuma, sweetest friend, kindest soul, and passionate educator.  She always had her door open, a chair at her table, and hospitality abound for anyone who wanted to visit.  Nicole's love for entertaining was always enhanced by her laugh and smile.  As a mother of 4 very active children, Nicole energetically took on and loved the roles of dance mom, hockey mom, baseball mom, and softball mom.

Even with minimal time for herself, Nicole was an active member of the St. Archangel Michael Serbian Orthodox Church as well as the Circle of Serbian Sisters Knjeginja Zorka.  Nicole's commitment to education extended to Heritage Grove Middle School where she was a valued educator, mentor, leader, and friend to all the "kiddos" that she crossed paths with.  The lives of all those that she encountered will forever be brighter having known her.  Our family will continue to live through her.
