Nicole Lauren Pfister
January 14, 2001 – July 29, 2022
Nicole Lauren Pfister is preceded in death by her grandfather Reynaldo Leal.
She is survived by her daughter Luna May Richards; partner Ian Santiago; mother Clarissa Leal; father figure Luis Garza; siblings Memphis Chavera; Dustin Chavera; grandmother Rosario Morales; uncle Reynaldo Leal Jr.; and aunt Krizella Leal.
Nicole Pfister was an honest friend, a special partner, a wonderful mother, and a loving daughter. Everyone knew she was present in the room because everything felt complete and brighter. Where there was a bowl of Ramen involved, Nicole was surely to be involved. Those who knew her well, remember her love for her family, friends, significant other, and daughter. We will remember Nicole for her beautiful perspective on life, growing faith, laughter, eternal smile, will to fight, quirky sayings, and selflessness when it came to the ones she loved.
Nicole had a special love for her family and friends, especially for her daughter Luna. Her family held her up when difficult times were present, and her close friends were there for her when she needed an escape from reality. She enjoyed her time listening to Elvis, Halsey, and Melanie Martinez in her baby blue Fiat she named Pearl as she sang along with Luna and Ian. She also enjoyed her time with her close friends trying new Ramen spots and having quality time with Luna. She loved taking trips to see Christmas lights, pumpkin patches, Fiesta Texas, and of course, Target. Nicole lived her life with purpose by advocating for other cancer patients and getting involved in college with an organization called “She’s the First.” Her story in “Team Nicole” touched the lives of thousands of people around the world. Nicole was able to experience finding true love with her partner Ian, being a mother to Luna whom she lived and fought for, and embrace the love of all her family and friends. Nicole was and is still truly loved and will forever be missed and will forever live in our hearts and memories.

Thank you for sharing her and her journey throughout the years. God Bless!

Rest in peace nicole
You can shed tears that she is gone, Or you can smile because she lived, You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back, Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her Or you can be full of the love that you shared, You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she is gone Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on, You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back, Or you can do what Nicole would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on. I have followed your journey from Australia as I have 4 daughters around your age . I send love and prayers to your amazing mother Claire, daughter Luna ,BF Ian your grandmother family & friends RIP Nicole ? ?
