Nicole passed away Wednesday, April 8, 2026, in Oklahoma City. She was born August 17, 1985, in Ada, to Angela Frazier.

Nicole graduated from Allen High School and married Gerardo Rodriguez Lerma on July 17, 2010. She worked as a grant writer for the Chickasaw Nation.

Nicole found joy in life’s simple pleasures—listening to music, baking delicious desserts, and spending meaningful time with family. Whether cheering from the stands at sporting events or gathered in the kitchen sharing laughter, she was happiest when surrounded by those she loved.

Known for her warm heart and gentle spirit, she was a loving and caring person who touched the lives of everyone she met. Her kindness, patience, and unwavering support will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

In addition to her close family here, Nicole was blessed with a large extended family through her husband, with many loved ones in Mexico who cherished her deeply.

Survivors include her husband, Gerardo, of the home; father, Fred Brown, of Talihina, OK; sister, Althiea Price and husband, Jay, of Norman, OK; and many cousins.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Angela Brown, and brother, Travis Brown.
