Nichole Elizabeth Haupt, left the world on January 21, 2026, at the age of 39. Born on January 30, 1986, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Nichole\u2019s vibrant personality was a gift to all who knew her.<\/p>\n
Nichole\u2019s life was one of dedication to her family and to those she helped through her work. She is survived by her two beloved children, Aniya Garcia and Jorge Garcia, of Fountain Hill, who were the center of her universe. Her love and devotion to them was unparalleled, and she instilled in them values of kindness, perseverance, and the importance of family. Nichole\u2019s love and the lessons she taught them over their shared years together will continue to guide them throughout their lives.<\/p>\n
Her mother, Tracy Jurinko of Easton, and her father, Thomas Haupt of Fountain Hill, remember Nichole as a daughter whose strength, determination, and love knew no bounds. Her brothers Zakary Jurinko, Michael Haupt, and Jesse Haupt (partner Tiaisha), will forever cherish their memories of their sister, whose laughter and all-encompassing warmth filled their hearts. Nichole leaves behind many nieces and nephews, an abundance of friends, her two dogs, and her two grandparents, Stephen Jurinko (partner Cindy) of Florida, and Sharon Haupt of Lititz, PA, all of whom have touched her life in irreplaceable ways.<\/p>\n
Nichole was predeceased by her brother, Eric A. Haupt, and her grandparents, Kristen Doddy and Roy Haupt. Her family takes solace in knowing that she is now reunited with them in eternal peace.<\/p>\n
Professionally, Nichole was a passionate advocate for her patients. She worked tirelessly at Success Rehabilitation, a center for those who have suffered traumatic brain injuries in Quakertown, PA, where her empathy and expertise touched, and brightened, the lives of many. Nichole\u2019s commitment to her work was evident in every interaction she had with her patients and their families, providing not just care, but hope, encouragement, and a brightness that lit up their lives. Nichole also extended her loving nature to home health care with Care is Fear. Her work in the Health Care field was not just a job, but a calling. She gave her heart to the cause of helping others and has made a significant impact on the individual lives, and community, that she dedicated herself to serving.<\/p>\n
