Nicole Lynn Maurer-Karmade
Nicole’s outgoing personality lit up a room when she walked in. Her smile, laugh and sense of humor were contagious. She was a graduate of Riverside High School, where she participated in basketball and softball. Nicole then attended Richard Stockton University where she earned a BA in Psychology with a Certificate in Education, and Holy Family University where she received her Certificate in Special Education. She had a love for children and worked as an elementary school teacher for many years. Her special place was down the shore on LBI where she grew up spending summers with family. Nicole was the cool aunt doing all sorts of arts and crafts and activities with all the kids. She and her son, David, were best friends. They loved driving to the shore listening to music, taking walks to the park or off to the river, or just chilling at her childhood home, hanging out with family. Nicole was always so welcoming with Little David’s friends, having them over to the house, cooking for them and making them feel right at home. Nicole enjoyed making jewelry, reading, and cooking.
She is survived by her son, David Karmade Jr.; her parents, Carlman “Bud” and Lynn Maurer; her sister, Michelle Maurer-Kaelin; nephew, Bryce and niece, Bailey; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Nicole was predeceased by her brother Buddy Maurer.

    She was such a caring teacher to the children in her class. Her smile lit up their day. At times like this, we always ask why. However, God has a plan & we must be grateful for the time she touched our lives. God Bless You Nicole.

    I met Nicole in high school & we continued on as friends throughout life. No matter what was happening in her life, she was always one of the funniest, most loving, caring & non-judgemental people I’ve ever met. Nicole, I’m sorry I missed saying goodbye to you today….I didn’t know you left to be with Buddy until this morning. It’s never “Goodbye’ anyway, it’s always “until next time”. The world has become a dimmer place without you, everyone lost a very bright & shiney star when you left. You will always be loved & missed. I hope you are at peace now.
    To Mr & Mrs Maurer & Michelle, my heart breaks for you & I can’t imagine how devastating this must be for the 3 of you to lose yet another shining star from your family. My deepest condolences go out to the 3 of you, to David Jr. & of course the rest of your family. Nicole, may you Rest in Peace…until we meet again!
