It is with a very sad and heavy heart that we have lost our loved one. Nicole Lynn Kosta, born May 31, 1983, lost her long battle with metastatic breast cancer on Sept 30, 2024. She moved to Welches OR with her family in 1984 where she enjoyed the activities and wonder of living on the mountain. This is where she made lifelong friends and built her life. She attended Welches grade school and middle school then moved on to high school in Sandy, later graduating from Eastern Oregon University with Bachelors degree in Business Administration. Nicole had many talents including working on her own vehicles, photography, gardening, crafting, baking and she especially loved her pets. She never let the difficulty of a task stop her from the challenge. If she wanted to do a project or something she knew little about, she would research it and make a plan. She was always successful in accomplishing what she set out to do. She was fun, loving, compassionate and always supported others in their endeavors. Nicole never let her cancer define her. When she was diagnosed she told her loved ones and friends “everything is fine, I’ll be alright.” This world will certainly be a sadder place without her, but those who knew her will always have the memories of her and know that they were well-loved by her.
She was preceded in death by her brother Samuel “Sam” Kosta, several uncles, grandparents and others.
She leaves behind her mother, Joyce Kosta, father Rodney Kosta, brother Lucas Kosta, and her only living grandparent, Naomi Kosta of Sierra Vista, Arizona, as well as many beloved friends who she considered her family. She will forever be loved and never forgotten.
Celebration of life will be November 9, 2024 at Immanuel Lutheran Church, located at 39901 Pleasant Street, Sandy Oregon. Join us from 1pm to 4 pm. Refreshments to follow.
