Nikki grew up in the Mountain View area and attended school there. She had accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior.
She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Wayne and Barbara Hergesheimer and Patricia “Pearl” Hergesheimer; maternal grandparents, Russell Deck and Daisy Meadows; an uncle, Douglas Deck; and a brother-in-law, Dean Hulvey.

Nikki enjoyed the outdoors, especially deer hunting where she would often kill bigger deer than James! Her kids were her pride and joy and she enjoyed taking them swimming and fishing at the river. She also enjoyed horses, taking care of her chickens, mushroom hunting and barbecues. The family liked attending gun shows together and she often joked that she only went along to keep James from buying too many. They also enjoyed listening to the Carpenter family play and sing any chance they got. Nikki loved her Bullmastiff dogs and puppies which she took great pride in raising to be wonderful companions for people she sold them to all over the country. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
