Nicole Autumn Mitchell

May 31, 1977 - January 17, 2019

Nicole Autumn Mitchell, age 41, passed away on January 17th, 2019 in Draper, UT. She was born May 31, 1977 in Vernal Utah to Jill Tomlin and Wayde Mitchell. Nicole was a unique baby in that she had an extra chromosome creating what is known as Down Syndrome. Many people told the young couple that she wouldn’t live long and that she should be put in a facility but Jill didn’t listen and Nicole had a long life full of love, family and friends. Jill was later remarried to Jeff Belnap when Nicole was 6 years old and became her primary caregiver along side Jill for the remainder of her years. Jeff and Nicole had such a special and unique bond that they effortlessly formed a father daughter relationship. Because of Jeff’s recent passing we know he greeted Nicole with open arms when she left her body. Nicole was a light to everyone she met. She often reminisced on her days at Jordan Valley, and Hillcrest High School. You would often find her dancing, singing and writing poems for those she loved. Nicole is survived by her loving mother Jill Belnap and her sisters Kayesha and Emma. Nicole is also survived by her father Wayde Mitchell and his children Eric, Alyssa, Alex, and Alexis. Nicole is preceded in death by her step father; Jeff Belnap. Nicole always had a fondness for butterflies which represented her kind and carefree spirit perfectly.
