Nicole Marie Hinds

Nicole “Niki” Marie Hinds (nee Paylor) departed this world and entered the gates of Heaven on September 15, 2015 in Puyallup, WA following a sudden illness. Our beloved Nicole was born on December 21, 1984 in Oak Harbor, WA (Naval Air Station). She graduated from Papillion-La Vista HS in Bellevue, NE in 2002 and graduated from the University of Washington-Tacoma with a BA in 2009.

Niki was a feisty, opinionated and independent woman with a sassy sense of style. She loved Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks and adored books. She loved to dish with her besties Katie Davis and Janelle Klovdahl. She had a mischievous sense of humor and knack for making incredible Mojitos. Niki opened her heart to others with unconditional acceptance.

Niki married the love of her life Robert Hinds on May 1, 2010 and together they brought their beautiful son Jackson into the world on July 11, 2014. Niki was a devoted and loving wife and mother and found so much joy in her family.

Niki is survived by her loving husband Robert, her sweet baby boy Jackson, her devoted parents Mark and Laura Paylor, her brother Christopher Paylor, her mother-in-law Liana Hinds and father-in-law James Hinds (Mary), sister-in-law Tera Fox (Jason) and their children, Chase, Ellie and Asher. She is also survived by her loving grandparents Robert and Ute Confer and Rick and Joan Paylor.

Niki is remembered by many loving family members including her Aunts and Uncles Angie and Mike Heaton, Belinda and John Keefe, and LynnD and Brian Laurance. Niki will be dearly missed by her cousins Kyle Heaton, Alexander and Andrew Keefe, and Tatiana and Eliana Laurance.

She leaves behind many loving friends and family from the Paylor, Hinds, Howisey, Confer, Atmore and “Nebraska” clans, her “second” parents Pat and Dave Varner of Nebraska, her extended family in Germany, her zany Bunco ladies, and her fur baby Angel Penelope Hinds.
