Always the life of the party, Nikki enjoyed singing and was always eager to show off her dancing skills, especially Chicago Steppin’. Most of all, Nikki enjoyed spending time with family and friends, whether she was challenging everyone to a card game of Bid Whist, a skill that she learned from her grandfather, or reminiscing about special moments with those that she loved.

Nikki was superseded in death by her father Curtis McCravy, Step-father Edward Kyles, Grandmothers Bobbie Gibson and Rosemary Mccravy, Grandfather Jerry Gibson, Aunt Deborah Cary and cousin Morrice Gibson, who all loved her dearly.
