Nicole J. Palaferro

Nicole Jillian Palaferro, born on October 3, 2015, passed away suddenly on December

19, 2023 at eight years old. She is already tremendously missed by surviving members

of her family, including her father and mother, Chris & Jillian Palaferro, her sisters,

Hannah & Olivia, and grandparents TJ & Denise Antich, and Paul & Dawn Palaferro.

Along with her uncles Christopher & Eric Antich, aunts Danielle Palaferro and Grace

(Frank) Cocco, and cousins Carter & Aidan Cocco. She is also survived by her great

grandparents William Palaferro and Paul (JoAnn) Kincade. Her cats, Abby & Lily miss

her dearly. Nicole was greeted in heaven by her great grandparents and other relatives

who predeceased her.

Nicole loved spending time with her family–especially her sisters, cherished her friends,

and loved all things arts and crafts. She was most proud of being a big sissy and would

tell you that she had the best sisters she could have ever asked for. She loved school

and attended Ringing Rocks Elementary where her favorite subject was art. Nicole

loved reading–most recently Harry Potter, coloring pictures and playing school with

Hannah, and helping with her baby sister Olivia. She enjoyed playing at the park,

collecting squishmellows, and drawing–she was just mastering her sketching skills! She

loved playing outside with her friends and riding scooters after school. Her favorite

vacation was her recent trip to Disney with her family, grandma, grandpa and auntie.

Nicole loved animals and wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up!

Nicole was the most beautiful, compassionate, devoted, and loving daughter, sister and

friend. She cared so deeply about everyone in her life. She was looking forward to one

of her favorite traditions, spending Christmas Eve at Nana’s house with her aunt, uncles

and cousins. Nicole was a bright light in our lives, and our world will never be the same.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, December 30 th from 10:00-11:00am at St. Basil the

Great Parish at 2330 Kimberton Road, Phoenixville, PA, followed by her Funeral Mass

at 11:00am. Interment will be private.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Art

Department at Ringing Rocks Elementary School in her memory at 1401 Kauffman Rd,

Pottstown, PA 19464.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

You make me happy when skies are gray

You’ll never know, dear, how much I love you

Please don’t take my sunshine away

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping

I dreamed I held you in my arms

When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken

So, I hung my head and I cried
