Niels Poulsen Obituary

POULSEN, Niels Kolle
This is the hardest thing I have ever had to write. With heavy hearts, we share that Niels passed away on April 14, 2025, after a courageous 20-year battle with cancer and its many challenges.
He leaves behind a remarkable legacy-his three grown children, their wonderful spouses, eight beloved grandchildren, and his devoted wife of 46 years. Niels was a loving husband, father, and grandfather whose presence will be deeply missed.
We take comfort in knowing you are pain-free, drinking coffee and watching soccer.
To all who knew him: if a smile crosses your face when you think of Niels, know that it is the greatest tribute you can offer.
Condolences may be offered to the family at

I remember the Poulsen family from when we just immigrated from Denmark in the early 50's. Palle and Nels became quick friends in our youth and then through our school years. My thoughts are with the family during this difficult time.
