Susan Nicole Purtz (Nikki)
“Every real story is a never ending story.” ~The Neverending Story
Susan “Nikki” Nicole Purtz, 51, of Ellet, passed away on January 24, 2022. She was born in Akron on October 15, 1970 to Jim and Fran Bostick. She was married to Carl Purtz for 27 years. Nikki had worked for Akron General Hospital/VNS for 18 years in the IT Department.
Her story will live on in all of the happy memories she brought to the lives of her husband, Carl; daughters, Darienne Taylor and Brynne Addison; her adorable dog, Adeline; her parents, Jim and Fran Bostick; sister, Christine (Stephen) Barnett; brother, James (Kristie) Bostick; her parents in-law, Mike and Charlotte Purtz; godparents: John Bostick and Barb Barone and countless friends and family members.
The next chapter of her story starts with her dancing with stars in Heaven alongside those that passed before; her grandparents, James and Anna Bostick and James and Magdalene Howe; her nephew, Preston Hoffman; and her beloved pup, Adia.
The story continues in the memories you carry forward every time you sing along to a Fleetwood Mac tune, think of Nikki. Every time you cheer on the Cleveland Browns or the Cleveland Indians, think of Nikki. Every time you long for day at the beach with a delicious seafood dinner, think of Nikki. Every time you watch fireworks light up the sky, think of Nikki. Every time you cherish your children, remember how much Nikki did too. And her story will continue through the lives of her children. The family has created a GoFundMe campaign for her daughters’ college education. https://tinyurl.com/bdh4v4z7
