Master Sergeant Amor was assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command based in Kuwait when she, along with five other servicemembers, lost her life serving our Nation on March 1, 2026, during a drone attack.
Amor's family and friends as we grieve. Nicole's husband Joey beautifully described her as “a rare and special light in this world.” Along with being a committed solider and true patriot, Master Sergeant Amor is remembered as “an amazing wife, mother, and friend . . . who loved with all her heart.” In addition to that deep love, she is remembered for her wit and willingness to be friends with anyone.
Nicole is survived by her husband Joey; son Owen; daughter Adeline; parents Deborah and Todd; siblings Derek, Tony, and Dillon, Alyssa; and their mother Janelle; grandma Patrecia; and many other extended family members and countless friends. She was deeply loved by many friends and family for her spirit, warmth, humor, and strength. Nicole's husband Joey says she will always be the love of his life, and her spirit will continue to shine through in her children and many friends.
expression of her nurturing love. So it is fitting that Joey and Nicole's family are planning to build a greenhouse and community garden to keep her spirit growing, as they grieve her loss.
As Nicole's family said, “We will carry Nicole with us forever. She was loved so greatly by so many people, and she loved each and every one of you right back.”
Lord, hold Nicole close in Your eternal peace. Watch over
her as she rests in Your presence. Please comfort our hearts
as we carry the weight of missing her. Give us strength for
each day, and help us honor her life by loving each other the
way she loved us. May the memories we share keep her spirit
alive in our home, and may the work of our hands continue the
goodness she brought into this world.
