Nicki’s daughter, Terisa Johnson Harju left the following message on Facebook: 

It is with a heavy heart but also with many happy memories that we announce the passing of my mom Nicki. She passed on Saturday August 26th after having the rare opportunity to say goodbye to most of her friends and family. She asks that everyone “look for the glimmers” (reference on her fb page). She also asked in lieu of flowers, that donations be sent to the Ridgecrest Veterans Advisory Council via Carol Coy or the Ridgecrest Animal Shelter via Mary Sage.

There will be a celebration of her life in October, (most likely the 2nd or 3rd weekend). The place, date and time will be announced.
