Nicole died as a result of complications from glioblastoma, a rare type of brain cancer. She was diagnosed for the first time in July 2020.
Doctors performed surgery to remove as much of the brain tumour as possible. She was then subjected to a six-week cycle of chemotherapy and radiation.
Following the diagnosis, Arizona established the Nicole Hazen Fund for Hope to raise funds for cancer research

“Nicole lived her life and loved her family with fierceness and devotion,” the Hazen family said through the team in a statement.
“She spent every day as a mother, wife, and educator advocating for goodness in the service of others.”
“Glioblastoma gradually took away her ability to speak, walk, talk, and lead, but it never took away her ability to love her children, family, and friends.” We are lost without her, but her unwavering empathy will live on.
Nicole Hazen is survived by her husband, Mike, and their four sons, Charlie, John, Teddy and Sam.
