Plan Ahead

Kasin, Nicolle K.

January 22, 1971 –

Obituary

Nicolle K. Kasin was born in Richardson, TX, on January 22, 1971. She attended Plano Sr. High School where she played on the girl’s state soccer championship team. Leading with a strong left foot, she was part of the Sting ’71 soccer club and was most often “her father’s (Al) daughter” when playing exceptional football. Beyond the Sting, Nicolle’s skills and achievements placed her within the Women’s Soccer Olympic Development Program. From high school, she then attended Stephen F. Austin State University where she took full advantage of the social and scholastic atmosphere and graduated with a BS degree in Biology and a minor in Math. Nicolle then began her 22-year career at PepsiCo within the Frito Lay R&D Department. Ironically, it was her skills playing for the company soccer team that led to her recent position within the PepsiCo IT Department.   Nicolle traveled the world extensively and was able to cover all continents except Antarctica since she always thought it was too cold! Everywhere she went, she never knew a stranger and made friends here and there (just ask her favorite traveling companion, her mom, Pat). In addition to her international travels, the beaches of Destin were her comfort zone and her yearly retreat for R&R. Upon the return of her travels and souvenir shopping, Nicolle always looked forward to seeing her family and 4-legged companion, Gumbo.   Most recently, Nicolle had plans for a “surprise” spring wedding to Michael Villalva, of Prosper, TX, in May 2019. For this wedding celebration, we ask that all friends and family celebrate the fond memories of Nicolle through laughter and tears of joy.   All in all, Nicolle was a loving and giving person who never thought twice about lending a helping hand and never expected anything in return. She was so full of life and was determined to place the needs of others above her own. Cheers to you, Nicolle! May your wine glass always stay full while watching the sunset on the glistening white beaches above! Memorial donations can be made to any local pet shelter in her memory. Although there will be no funeral or services, Nicolle’s Facebook page will remain open and all are welcome to post memories and final words to her there.

    Nicolle’s voice, wit, sarcasm, encouragement, smile, inspiration, and so much more, will be sorely missed. I wish I’d said this to her. My condolences to her family and fiance.

    A sweet, funny, beautiful light has been lost with Nicolle’s passing. I hope that more of us can learn to care about others the way she did. I feel her absence daily, and can only imagine how that translates to her parents, Michael, and close friends and family. I will hold her in my heart and remember her with donations in her name to the IL Birddog Rescue.
    So much love and so many hugs to you all.

    Nicolle will be missed. She was a great friend and always thoughtful and caring of others. We enjoyed a long career together at PepsiCo. Nicolle was one of the first friends I made when I joined PepsiCo 18 years ago.

    I remember Nicole through my sister, Heather Ferguson. I remember her fun, full of life personality and drinking margs with her at El Paso. I also remember a fun 4th of July where Nicole and her family rented a bus to go to Rangers stadium to see a game. Very generous family and Nicole was always welcoming and friendly! She will be missed!! I’m so sorry for your loss Kasins

    I met Nicolle through my niece, Amanda Pederson. Nicolle and I shared a birthday, which gave us an immediate connection. She had a vivacious personality, and was usually the center of attention wherever she was. Sincere condolences to the Kasin family and to Michael.

    We are saddened by this loss. Worked with Nicolle from past 9 years at PepsiCo and have always found her loving and caring for others. Be it any community outreach event at PepsiCo, I have always seen her participating. She is one of the very few folks I met who loved travelling so much. She has visited many places in world which we can only dream of. I am sure she has gone to more beautiful place than this world. My condolences to the family and may god give you all courage to overcome this loss.

    I still remember the pickup soccer games we had together decades ago at Frito HQ. Now I know why she never missed a step, schooled us more often than we would like to admit. I will miss running into her in the halls at work and recounting the good ole days, prayers to family and fiance…

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
