💔 Heartfelt tributes pour in for Nicola Owen, a beloved mum who left us too soon at 41. Known for her kindness and vibrant spirit, Nicola was a pillar in Pontardawe, especially at the rugby club where she worked as the cherished head chef.
Her passing has left an irreplaceable void in the community. Described as “gentle, kind, and deeply loved,” Nicola was not only a culinary talent but a treasured friend to many. Her dedication to sourcing locally and supporting small businesses showcased her passion and commitment.
Pontardawe RFC, along with her son Charlie and partner Mal, are heartbroken by this loss. Her warmth radiated throughout the club, and her post-match meals were legendary. Visiting teams often raved about her delicious cuisine, a testament to her care and dedication.
A brilliant mind, Nicola was the one everyone wanted on their pub quiz team. Her humour, intelligence, and infectious energy made her a joy to be around. Charlie, now 18, carries forward her legacy, making her incredibly proud by opening his personal training gym.
Nicola loved adventures with Mal and was always planning their next getaway. Her absence leaves a huge gap, but her generosity and kindness will live on in the hearts of everyone she touched. 💐 #RememberingNicolaRowen #PontardaweHeartfeltTribute
