She graduated from Speedway High School in 1994. She worked at Riley Hospital, O'Reilly Auto Parts, McGilvery's, and American Legion Post 500. Nikki will be remembered as the life of the party. She was always ready with advice (Unsolicited). Nikki was fiercely loyal, funny, strong-willed, loving, and kind, but very blunt and sarcastic. Most of all, she was easily annoyed. Over the years, she was Mom to many fur babies.
She leaves behind Ramsey, Cyrus, and Marley. She is preceded in death by Father John. Survived by Mother Teresa, Sister Sindy, Brother Steve, and her nephews Thomas, Jordan, Grant, and great nephew Mack.
A celebration of life be held later.
