Nicole Christina Beveridge-Pavao

The family is heartbroken to announce the passing of Nicole Christina Beveridge Pavao, age 44, who passed away peacefully at home, on Monday, December 15, 2025. She is survived by her sister Jenni Tavares, nephew Carlos Tavares (Tori) and nieces Sadie and Stella Tavares. Also survived by her Uncle Wes Beveridge (Jo-Ellen), cousins Trevor, Tyler and Alexandra Beveridge. She will be missed by her Uncle Steve Reid (Maggie). Nicki will be missed by her special friend Sean Meyer-Pickett.

Nicki was predeceased by her loving parents John and Margaret Beveridge, her Nana Harriet Nutter (Hartley) and her Grandpa Jim Beveridge (Mary).

Nicki was loved by several close friends, who she would refer to as “Aunts, Uncles and cousins”. Nicki’s parents’ lifelong friend, Roberta Smith-Hurak (nee Blunt) became her surrogate “Mom” or “Aunt” over many years, helping her through her grief, care of her Nana Harriet and providing loving support and guidance through her life’s challenges. Roberta’s sons, Mason and Ryan Smith were special to Nicki and they will miss her as well.

Nicki loved her “fur friends”, always spending time and care for her dogs and cats for many years. She was well known to help others with dog sitting or dog walking and enjoyed her time as a dog trainer with PetSmart. Nicki will be remembered by many family members and close friends for her big smile, and her ability to make you laugh.

In lieu of flowers, for those wishing to, memorial gifts in Nicole’s memory to the Sarnia Humane Society at  www.sarniahumanesociety.com would be appreciated.

Cremation has taken place. There will not be any visitation or service.

Private arrangements are entrusted to the D. J. Robb Funeral Home & Cremation Centre (102 N. Victoria St, Sarnia, ON, N7T 5W9). Memories and messages of condolence may be sent through www.djrobb.on.ca
