Jacqueline Renee (Nichols) Boley

Jacqueline Renee (Nichols) Boley, 62, of Minerva, Ohio, passed away on August 6, 2026.

Born on March 28, 1964, Jackie was a lifelong source of love, kindness, and devotion to her family and friends. Family was one of the most important parts of her life, and she cherished the relationships she shared with those closest to her.

Jackie was a 1982 graduate of Minerva High School and later earned an Associate Degree from Stark State University. She dedicated many years of her career to Nationwide Insurance, where she was respected for her hard work, professionalism, and commitment.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Jack Nichols and Barbara (Jones) Nichols. Jackie loved her parents deeply, and the loss of her mother was something she carried in her heart every day. While her passing leaves a tremendous void in the lives of those who loved her, her family finds comfort in knowing that Barbara was waiting in Heaven to welcome her daughter home with open arms and a loving embrace.

She is survived by her siblings: Bruce Nichols and his wife, Jackie, of Minerva; Robert Nichols and his wife, Rachel, of Canton South; Troy Nichols of Ravenna; Michael Nichols of Minerva; and Candace Schenk and her husband, Mark, of Spring City, Tennessee.

Jackie held a special place in her heart for her nieces and nephews: Tasha Newman, Tina Newman, Traci Jolly, Evander Caruso, Emily (Caruso) Lewis, Samuel Caruso, Austin Nichols, Allie (Nichols) Brady, and Maddie Nichols. Her love, encouragement, and unwavering support for them will remain a cherished part of their lives and memories.

She also leaves behind several cousins, including her beloved cousin and best friend, Stacy Baumgardner of Buckeye Lake, Ohio, whose friendship brought Jackie great comfort, laughter, and companionship throughout the years.

An animal lover through and through, Jackie had an immense love for her dogs, Bootson and Roo. They were far more than pets; they were constant companions who filled her days with joy, comfort, and unconditional love. Their faithful presence was a treasured part of her life.

Those who knew Jackie will remember her gentle heart, her compassion for others, her loyalty to family, and her ability to make people feel loved and valued. She found happiness in spending time with those she loved and created countless memories that will be cherished for years to come.

A brief and intimate graveside service will be held at Liberty Cemetery on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Family and close friends are warmly welcomed as we join together to honor, remember, and celebrate Jackie's life.

Though deeply missed, Jackie leaves behind a legacy of kindness, devotion, and love that will continue to live on in the hearts of her family and friends.

“Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy.”
