Nichole Tyna, 42, passed away on October 30, 2025.
Born in Cleveland, she was a resident of Berea since 1983.
Nichole had been employed with I am Boundless as a House Supervisor for Smith House, Middleburg Heights. Ohio.
Nichole is survived by her Fiancé; Gary Middlebrooks, Sons; Jayden and Jason, her Parents; Timothy and Debora Tyna sister; Patricia (Jesse) Smith; Nieces; Angelina and Alyssa (Stacy) and Nephew: Jesse Smith III.
Nichole's passion in life was working with developmentally challenged children and adults. She always fought for the under dogs, and her motto that she said daily was "no one is left behind". Nichole was not only a hero at work, but Super Woman at home. Her Fiancé and kids were everything to her. She enjoyed going on vacations, dancing to music with her sons, face timing on the phone with her sister talking gossip, getting her nieces and nephew out of trouble without snitching, spending all the time she can with her Mom and Dad. Nichole was the backbone of her family, ensuring everyone remained close and loved, despite everyone living in different parts of the country.
