Nicole Santrizos Obituary

What an amazing woman and only knowing her for a short time I consider myself fortunate to have known her. My deepest heartfelt sympathies go out to her family especially her loving husband, who looked at her in a way of pure love and respect. God Bless all and may your comfort be that she is at peace and smiling down on you all.

I am so shocked and even more sad to hear of Nicole's passing. My family and I have been good friends with the Spencer's since we were infants. I have so many fond memories playing with Mark and Nicole, Sloane and Heath in our yards of Mexico MO. I remember Mark and his fight to stay with us here.
I had the privilege to attend a beauty pageant with Nicole's mother that Nicole participated in and I thought that she was so beautiful and graceful and what incredible musical talent she had.
To the Spencer and Santrizos families, my deepest sympathies to you all. May God give you peace and be comforted in the thoughts that she is now at peace herself with Mark in heaven.

What a sorrow for the world to lose Nicole, a beautiful person in every way. What a joy for her to be relieved of the world's burdens and go to her reward and complete peace with God our Father..

I am so sorry to hear of Nicole's passing - she handled her struggle with such beauty & grace, which is how she also lived her life. Nicole was such a kind, genuine & giving soul. I feel fortunate to have had her as a friend. She will be dearly missed & always thought of most fondly.

My deepest sympathy to the Spencer and Santrizos families. I knew Nicole as a child in Mexico, MO.

I could always count on a gentle smile and a kind word from Nicole. She was a beautiful person inside and out. Her family will be in my prayers. Heaven is rejoicing Nicole's return.

I will always remember Nicole for the beauty and grace of her friendship and her music.

To the Spencer family and Nicole's husband,
I grew up with Nicole in Mexico, MO from a very young age. We lived down the street from each other. I remember her as a sweet person who loved her family and lived her life loving the Lord.
I also knew Mark and watched Nicole gracefully go through this process with him.
My sincere sympathy to all of you. She and Mark are rejoicing in heaven. Nicole will be fondly remembered by her classmates of '82.
In Him,

Nicole is fondly remembered here N'eath the Elms at Eureka College. Her beauty was evident in her singing, piano artistry and her spirit. She is part of the tapestry of alumni that make this place so special. As a fellow music major, she is in so many of my special college memories. The class of 1987 will always remember Nicole and the beauty that she shared with us.

Nicole was a wonderful person and a good friend at Eureka. Though I had not seen her in many years I have never forgotten her and never will. My deepest condolences to her family.

We met Nicole toward the end of her fight to stay with you, here. Her strong determination and positive attitude was an inspiration. I know you were there for her and she is in a better place now, without pain and struggle. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Nicole was a beautiful soul that touched so many. She will be in my heart for ever. Peace, Shelley (Strasser Holland)

Nicole was a bright and shining light at Eureka and a great pianist, singer and friend. My prayers are with her family.

I'll remember Nicole as a loving person, caring of others. In the fall Nicole and Paul along with several friends enjoyed cocktails at the rooftop bar at the Market Pavillion Hotel. Nicole gave us all a sense of comfort with her positive attitude about her life. Nicole has been in my personal prayers for many months. Her name was among the many on my church's prayer list. No doubt, God has received a beautiful person as Nicole is welcomed into His kingdom. My thoughts and prayers go out to Nicole's family and to Paul.

Mr. S,
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of your family, I am so sorry for this terrible loss.
