Nicolle was born April 15, 1971 in Wichita Falls, Texas. She and James Michael Isbell were married August 21, 1993 in Iowa Park, Texas. She was married for thirty-two wonderful years and will be greatly missed by her husband. Nicolle was a devoted mother and wife. She made the decision to leave her position in the medical field early on in her children’s lives so that she could homeschool them and be more present in their lives. She remained a devoted homemaker and pillar of strength to her husband throughout the rest of her life. Nicolle was a passionate woman who never backed down from a challenge whether it be homeschooling her children, fighting insurance companies or changing the starter on a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. Nicolle did not know the work can’t. Nicolle had an innate curiosity and childlike wonder about everything in life. She loved to take walks around her property and identify the different butterflies, wild flowers and grasses. She would spend countless hours gathering seeds from plants that she liked and spreading them on barren parts of her property. She loved to watch them take root, grow and fill in the void. Nicolle was an incredibly generous and self-sacrificing woman. She would help anyone she knew to be in need without a second thought. Nicolle is survived by her loving husband James “Jay” Isbell; her two children, Melanie Isbell of Lafayette, Oregon, and Michael Isbell of Gainesville, Texas; Her in-laws, who were more like her own family rather than in-laws, father-in-law, Michael Isbell of Iowa Park, Texas and sister-in-law, Robbin White and husband, Tony of Odessa, Texas; and one niece, Machilee Carlson of Frisco, Texas. She was preceded in death by her Mother-in-law, who was really a mother to her, Jimmie Lee Isbell on February 20, 2025.
