Nicole Perez, born on November 9, 1996, in Newburgh, New York, passed away on March 31, 2026, in Ellenville, New York. At just 29 years old, Nicole's life was tragically cut short, leaving a profound void in the hearts of her family and all who knew her.

Nicole was the beloved daughter of John Perez and Shannon MacDaniels (Ryan MacDaniels). She shared a close bond with her siblings: Kayla Stapinsky (Brandon Stapinsky), Jenna Miller (James Lip), and Alannah MacDaniels. Her love for family extended to her cherished daughters, Novalee Bunora and Raelynn Bunora, who were the light of her life. Nicole also leaves behind the father of her children, James Bunora.

Her daughters' grandparents, Rich and Charlotte, held a special place in Nicole's heart as part of the loving support system surrounding her family. She was also adored by her nephew, Karter Stapinsky. Nicole is fondly remembered by her uncle, Jeff Perez, and her aunts, Debbie Perez and Melissa Perez.

Nicole was predeceased by her grandmothers, Sharon Perez and Sharon Anderson. Their memories remained close to her heart throughout her life.

Though Nicole's time with us was far too brief, she will be remembered for the love she shared with those around her. May her memory bring comfort to all who mourn her passing.

A memorial visitation will be held on April 7, 2026, from 02:00 PM to 04:00 PM at Brooks Funeral Home 481 Gidney Avenue.
