It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Nicole Marie Parsons of Metolius, OR. Nicole passed away on Thursday, September 19th, at home at the age of thirty six. She was a loving mother, daughter, sister and friend.

Nicole was born to Judy Messinger and Jeff Looney on August 15th, 1988, in San Jose, California. Nicole is survived by her son Noah Ihrig, her mother Judy (Paul) Messinger, her father Jeff Looney, her siblings Holly Parsons, Daniel (Brittany) Looney, Terabitha (Charles) Young, and Victoria Messinger. Nicole was also the loving aunt to Addison, Elijah, Eliahna, Kyrie and Anastasia.

Nicole was a caregiver for the State of Oregon. A kind and compassionate person, she did well with her clients. She applied the same love and kindness in her work into every aspect of her life.

Nicole was also a loving mother to her son Noah. She loved him with every fiber of her being. She also loved to spend time with friends and family every chance she had. She loved road trips, going to the lake, BBQs and any other opportunity to spend time with her loved ones.

She will be remembered for her sparkling spirt, her love of life and her generous heart. Nicole was larger than life and it's difficult to break that down into a few paragraphs. But she was one of a kind and will be forever missed. As she would say; love you see you later bye.
