Nicole Dora Petersen Prentice

April 3, 1990 – January 26, 2020

Nicole Dora Petersen Prentice, 29, passed away January 26, 2020 after a valiant and courageous battle with colon cancer.  Nicole passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family, and the care of the kind staff at Huntsman Cancer Institute.  Nicole was born on April 3, 1990 in La Jolla, California to Donald H and Sheri Ruth Larsen Petersen.

Nicole started her childhood adventures in San Diego, California where she was welcomed into her home by her loving parents and her sister Shayle and brother Ryan, and later a sister Larissa.  They moved to Titusville, Florida, and then to Centennial, Colorado, where she spent her growing up years.  During this time her home was blessed with her sister, Kirsten.  Nicole enjoyed playing soccer and lacrosse and loved being outdoors.

Nicole graduated from Heritage High School in 2008, and then attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah where she graduated with a Bachelor in Family Life Studies.

Nicole married Marcus Prentice, the love of her life, her strength, best friend and prince on June 4, 2010 in the Denver Temple for time and eternity.  They started their family in Provo, Utah where they welcomed Kaitlyn Dora Prentice into their home and two years later in Bountiful, Utah they welcomed Annie Linda Prentice into their home.  Both girls have brought such great joy into their lives, helping Nicole to become the loving mother she desired to be.  The family made close and eternal friends in Provo, Bountiful and Clearfield, Utah.

Nicole loves her Savior and has served faithfully in many callings including Primary, Young Women Program, Sunday School, compassionate service leader and as a ministering sister to many around her.

While living in Clearfield Nicole’s battle with cancer began.  She was supported and helped by many loving friends, neighbors, family and ward members.  Her faith never wavered and she came through this challenge and was prepared to go forward with her future plans when she received the news that her cancer had returned.  Never faltering she has held strong to her faith and family.  She has set an example for us all of service to others in spite of personal suffering and allowed others to serve her.  She is an example of Christ like love and service in every way.
