Nicolette Bogotin McGinnis

Nicolette Bogotin McGinnis of Warren passed peacefully at her home on Wednesday, January 19, 2022. She was 71 years old. Nicolette was born in Warren, Ohio, on July 20,1950, the daughter of John “Bogie” and Estelle (Asolas) Bogotin.

She graduated from Warren G. Harding High School in 1968. Following high school, Nicolette furthered her education at Choffin School of Nursing.

She retired in 2015 after 23 years with the American Red Cross. Post retirement she continued caring for others in private home care.

Niki, as she was affectionately known by friends and family, enjoyed traveling to the Caribbean, visiting family in Philadelphia and Southern California. She loved spending time by the pool with friends and neighbors, and had a special place in her heart for animals — never living without a dog, cat or both! Besides family, friends and pets, Niki loved her Pepsi and long naps. She was smart, fun and sassy, and her jokes were timed so perfectly. She always got the best laughs from people around her. Needless to say, she laughed and loved deeply! There were never “Goodbyes” with Nicolette, only “I Love You!”

Niki is survived by her loving daughter, Brooke Bockhold (Jake) Hardin. She was preceded in death by her parents. Memorial contributions can be made in Nicolette’s name to Angels for Animals Veterinary Care & Shelter (www.AngelsForAnimals.org).

At Nicolette’s request, there will be no calling hours or funeral service. Her family will plan a Celebration of Life mid July 2022. Arrangements are entrusted to the Wm Nicholas Funeral Home & Cremation Services 614 Warren Ave. Niles, OH 44446.
