Nichole Marie Sun

Nichole Marie (Madden) Sun, age 38, passed away in the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts on Wednesday, November 4, 2015, surrounded by her loving family. Born in Norwood, Massachusetts on March 28, 1977, she was raised in Pawcatuck, Connecticut. Nichole graduated from Stonington High School with the Class of 1995, where she was a member of the National Honor Society and the Math team. She continued her education at the University of Connecticut, majoring in accounting, where she was a member of Beta Alpha Psi, an honorary professional accounting organization. She met her soon to be husband, Carl T. Sun, during her senior year while working at the accounting firm, Deloitte as part of her internship program. After graduating early in December of 1998, Nichole earned a full time position at Deloitte in Hartford, CT.

She transferred to Deloitte's Boston Office in 2000 and passed her exam to become a Certified Public Accountant in 2005. Nichole returned to Connecticut in 2003 and took a position with Stanley Black and Decker in New Britain.

On October 15, 2004, Nichole married her husband, Carl, in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. Together they made their home in Andover, Connecticut, along with their well loved black lab, Bogey.

In 2010, she earned a position with Gerber Scientific in Tolland, Connecticut, as the Assistant Controller. As an avid reader, she helped start a book club with her friends from Stanley Black and Decker. It also served as a way of staying close with them after she left.

When she and Carl welcomed Connor on August 23, 2011, Nichole transitioned from a successful business professional to the role of a stay at home mom to care for her son. However, she still found time to give back to the community through her volunteer work as a board member at AHM Youth and Family Services Inc., a community outreach organization in Hebron, Connecticut.

Nichole loved the beach and looked forward to the yearly summer trips to her family's cottage in Marshfield, Massachusetts. Marshfield held a special place in her heart as it was where the extended family gathered and where her parents also met. Family was incredibly important to Nichole, she loved spending time with them and always found a way to be with them at every holiday. She shared a special bond with her Dad over cars, and even rented him a Porsche for his birthday. Nichole's Mom was her confidante, they talked daily and enjoyed various activities such as shopping together. Together with her husband, she enjoyed sharing similar careers, visiting with friends, family, going to concerts and traveling to many places including, Hawaii, Key West, Clearwater, California, and the Caribbean. Her son, Connor, was the light of her life. She introduced him to horseback riding when she began riding at the Four Winds Farm in Hebron. Nichole made many close friendships through her activities with her son, from friendships with other mothers in Connor's preschool to play dates with neighbors. She also shared one of her favorite past times of going to the Marshfield Fair with Connor, where together they loved watching the demolition derbies.
