Nicole Dawn Bean, 45

Beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother and grandmother, Nicole Dawn Bean, 45, of Kellogg, Idaho, passed away on November 17, 2018, at Shoshone Medical Center of Kellogg, Idaho. She was born on August 12, 1973; the daughter of Alvin and Judy (Seefried) Fulton.

Nicole was born and raised in Cordova, Alaska, where she attended and graduated from the Cordova High School, class of 1991. She then attended college for the next three years to begin pursuing her professional goals.

Nicole was a nurturer and spent over 6 year working as an EMT and volunteer firefighter. She also worked as a CNA.

Nicole met and married her adoring husband, Jody Bean, in 2006. Their love story was like a fairytale and will forever be cherished.

Nicole’s faith was important to her and did her best to attend her church in Cordova, AK even after she had moved away, often watching the service via internet. She was a lover of animals and helped them as much as she could

Nicole enjoyed hunting, fishing, boating, and anything outdoors. She was a wonderful friend, always available to be a shoulder to lean on. Above anything else, she enjoyed being with her family. Her wonderful family meant everything to her and always put their needs before her own.

She was a truly selfless, strong, and beautiful person who dedicated every moment to her family and those she loved. She was always upbeat and a positive person. For those that were fortunate enough to have met her, they would say she was the most giving person they’d ever met.

Nicole is survived by her husband, Jody Bean; her son, Benjamin Norris of North Carolina; two daughters, Korie (Thomas) Eppler and Gabriella Fulton, both of Kellogg, Idaho; her handsome grandson, Jeremiah Fulton; parents Alvin and Judy Fulton of Cordova, Alaska; and two brothers, Larry (Brenda) Fulton of Wasilla, Alaska and Russel (Tracey) Fulton of Priest River, Idaho. Nicole was preceded in death by her son, Gabriel Bean, her brother Christopher Lee Sr., and her nephew, Christopher Lee Jr.

A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
