Services for Nicole Dawn Lerma, 40, of Allen, will be held at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at Criswell Funeral Home Chapel, with Rev. David Gray officiating.

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

Mrs. Lerma graduated from Allen High School and married Gerardo Lerma Rodriguez 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 her 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.

Survivors include her husband, Gerardo, of the home; father, Fred Brown, of Talihina, OK; sister, Althiea Price and husband, Jay, of Norman, OK; brother-in-law, Arturo Lerma and wife Rosa and their children, Jesus, Carlos, Brandon and David Lerma of Ada, OK; and numerous other relatives and friends.

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.

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