Nikole Marie Ybarra Padilla's Obituary
It is with a heavy heart and an abundance amount of love that we announce the passing of Nikole Marie Ybarra-Padilla on April 9, 2024 at the young age of 52.
Nikole who is affectionately known as “Nikki” to her family and friends was born on February 29, 1972 in Fort Sam Houston, Texas to Paul and Mary Ybarra. She was born while her Father was serving in the military so her early years were spent moving around but she came to Houston at the age of 5 and has called it home ever since.
Nikki is preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Ray & Antonia Chavez, paternal grandparents, Paul & Esther Ybarra, her aunt, Rita Prieto, and her father in law, Joe Padilla. She is survived by her loving husband, Chris Padilla; her 3 sons, Joshua Paul, Nathan Christopher, and Nikolas Luca; her parents, Paul & Mary Ybarra, her sister Elissa Gonzalez and husband Robert, sister Felicia Ayala and husband Felix, sister Stephanie Carrizal and husband Chris; mother in law, Mrs. Teresa Padilla, along with many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.
Anyone who knew Nikki knew she was devoted to all her family and friends. She loved her husband and sons an enormous amount and always made sure she let them know. Nikki enjoyed spending time with her family, being crafty, her job at CIMA, and we can’t forget a good margarita.
May her memory continue to bring smiles and laughter to us all. Rest in peace our beloved Nikki.
