Nicole A. Vernillo, 34, a former Linden, NJ resident entered into eternal rest on Sunday, January 25, 2026.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend the visitation in the Leonard-Lee Funeral Home, 301 E. Blancke Street, Linden on Saturday, February 7, 2026 from 1PM to 5PM. A Funeral Service will be held in the funeral home at 2:30PM.

​Born in Port Jefferson, Long Island and raised in Linden where she graduated from Linden High School.

Nicole was an "old soul" at heart. Whether she was vibing to old-school hip hop and R&B or appreciating the smallest details of the world around her, she moved through life with a kindness that drew people in. She never met a stranger—only friends she hadn't made yet.

​Her unexpected departure has left her parents, Judy and John, her sisters, Alyssa and Hayley and her grandparents Santo and Judith broken beyond words. We love you Nicole.
