Nicole V. Abbott, age 43, of Taylor, passed away Tuesday at Regional Hospital of Scranton after an illness. She was preceded in death by her fiance, Christopher Keziah, on April 5, 2018.
Born in Scranton on September 30, 1977, and daughter of Robert (Bobby) and Victoria (Rosencrans) Abbott, Nicole was a graduate of Riverside High School, Class of 1996, while studying cosmetology at CTC.

An animal lover, she adored her beloved cat, “Bentley”, who is already missing his Mommy. Together, they had a truly special bond.
Gone but never forgotten, Nicole will forever be missed.
She is also survived by her loving siblings, Dana Cox and husband Matt of Moosic and Robert Abbott of Scranton; her nephew, Matthew Cox; and aunts, uncles, cousin and friends.
