Nicole Limpert (née Hayashi) passed away peacefully on July 1, 2026, in St. Charles, Missouri, surrounded by her loving family. She was 45 years old. Her passing marks the loss of a remarkable woman whose life was defined by compassion, generosity, creativity, and a deep commitment to serving others. While her family grieves an immeasurable loss, they also honor a life that inspired countless people through kindness, leadership, and unconditional love.
Born on August 31, 1980, in Whittier, California, Nicole was known from a young age for her caring and empathetic nature. She consistently demonstrated a strong instinct to uplift others, offering encouragement, support, and warmth to those around her. This early compassion grew into a lifelong trait that shaped her relationships, career, and community involvement.
Nicole attended Principia High School before continuing her education at Principia College, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design. Her creativity, attention to detail, and collaborative spirit set her apart, and she was admired not only for her artistic ability but also for her humility and kindness in every interaction.
Although gifted in the creative arts, Nicole’s greatest passion was serving children and strengthening her community. As Executive Director of the St. Charles County Youth Soccer Association, she devoted herself to creating opportunities for young athletes to learn, grow, and build confidence. Her leadership helped cultivate an environment where children were encouraged not only in sport, but in character, teamwork, and self-belief.
Nicole believed deeply that youth sports should foster more than competition. She emphasized inclusion, encouragement, and personal growth, ensuring every child felt valued and supported. Her tireless volunteerism and dedication left a lasting impression on families, coaches, and players throughout St. Charles County.
Above all, Nicole was devoted to her family. She was a loving wife to her husband of 18 years, Kurt Limpert, and a deeply caring mother to their daughters, Sydney and Lily. She poured her heart into motherhood and partnership, cherishing everyday moments, celebrating milestones, and always striving to uplift those she loved most. Her family remembers her as a constant source of strength, encouragement, and unconditional love.
She is also survived by her mother, Cindy Fox; her father, Dean (Cathy) Hayashi; her siblings Danine Preston (Andrew), Robert Hayashi, and Amy Morrow (Caleb); her niece Gillian Preston; and a wide circle of extended family members, friends, colleagues, and community members whose lives she profoundly impacted.
Following news of her passing, tributes have poured in from across the community. Friends and colleagues remember her gentle spirit, selfless heart, and ability to make everyone feel seen and valued. Families involved in youth soccer have expressed deep gratitude for her leadership and the positive influence she had on their children’s lives.
A visitation celebrating Nicole Limpert’s life will be held on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Newcomer Funeral Home in St. Peters, Missouri.
Though her life was tragically cut short, Nicole’s legacy of love, service, and compassion will continue to live on through her family and the many lives she touched. She will be deeply missed, forever cherished, and lovingly remembered.
