Carrie Nicole West Boston

April 5, 1984 – September 5, 2026

42 years ago, the perfect plan began for Nicole’s journey and ended on Earth on September 5, 2026. The rocky road chosen for her was graciously cleared one stone at a time. Not by throwing them at others, nor by burying them to appear perfect, or even hiding them on the side. She carried each and every one with her. She didn’t ask anyone or expect anyone to carry her load. She placed every single one at the end of her perfect path, and then climbed her stone mountain to the other side. She was never alone, and her perfect plan was complete.

Nicole was born to the (late) Buddy and Dianne West. Born to a true country boy, she became an authentic country girl. She loved her family, friends, and neighbors without judgment. Nicole raised four amazing, beautiful girls and helped numerous people by sharing her complete story selflessly, with grace and gratitude.

Nicole is survived by her husband, Kirk Boston (and his family); mother Dianne West; grandmother Pauline Hutcheson; sister Carissa Lock (Gary) and her girls, Kaitlyn (Brock) Davis and their children Camille, Daphney, and Everleigh of Arkadelphia, AR, and Cheyenne (Mack) Daugherty and Baby Daugherty, of Maumelle, AR; Gary’s sons West (Aubrey) and Brayden Lock; brother Brad (Jen) West and their sons Christian (Angel) and their daughter Oaklynn West, and Silas Hill, all of Stuttgart, AR; her precious children, Gabrielle Marcum (Alex) and her son Phoenix Marcum, of Stuttgart, AR; Mackenzie Hearington and her son Hunter Minnie, of Havana, AR; Cierra Marcum, of Stuttgart, AR; and Victoria West, of Havana, AR.

Her girls and grandsons were her heart, as well as her nieces and nephews, who were more like her children.

Nicole requested no public service; a private burial will be performed on the date of her choosing. She loved all of her extended family, and we are all eternally grateful to have shared her journey with you. Our heartfelt thanks for the many, many prayer lists she has been on — Nicole often said she could feel them all, so they will sustain us now.

Dr. Reid Counce at Baptist Health – Stuttgart, and his nurse, Becky, were placed on Nicole’s path on January 2, 2026. They gave us hope, and the Lord gave us nine more months with her. We love you.

The staff and nurses at Baptist Hospital – Stuttgart have become our family since walking on Nicole’s path. We love you as well and thank you for your compassion, comfort, and understanding.

The family wishes to extend a thank you to Dr. Jauss and the exceptional staff at Carti Springhill for their compassionate care and support.

Nicole would want everyone to climb their own mountain and join her in defeating their demons.

And special remembrance to S-ALOO-N: Stephanie (Bush) Floyd, Jackie (Pollard) Prislovsky, and the late Brandie (Twisdale) Keithley.
