Nicole was a graduate of Quincy Senior High. She was the Operations Coordinator for the Quincy office at CareLink.
She worked at Sunset Home for many years and most recently, she worked for CareLink. CareLink to Nikki was not just a place of employment but a second family.

She loved spending time with family and friends. Her favorite thing to do was to watch her girls perform at dance. In her eyes, the girls were her greatest accomplishment and Nikki loved being an Aunt to Teagan.

We express our deepest condolences to all of Nikki’s loved ones, friends and caregivers. Special condolences to our dear friends, Jack and Pam. Heaven has gained an angel.
My father, Paul Phillips was at Sunset Home for many years when Nikki was there. She would be out sick or having a baby and then she would return. I never knew her well, but she was a HUGE ray of Sunshine. No matter what was going on, Nikki always had a smile and a good word to encourage someone. She was a true ray of Sunshine for the residents and families whenever she arrived. What a JOY she was and what a comfort to everyone. I am sure Heaven has received her Joyfully and they will enjoy her smile. My sympathy to her family.
Such a beautiful person!!! I am blessed to have known you! Such a beautiful beautiful person
Fly high Nikki you put up a heck of a fight JESUS WON, he couldn’t let his child hurt anymore
Rhonda, We send our deepest sympathy to you and your family. You all are in our thoughs and prayers!
It’s like a bad nightmare. Nikki was such a fighter. We were just hoping that she would get rid of the cancer this time but it just took over. She is no longer in pain and is with Grandpa Ron Vogel. I know she will be watching her girls grow while she is in heaven. Prayers to the family.
My condolences to Nikki’s family. I certainly have a lot of fond memories of Nikki from high school; from skipping classes to having to manually flip her turn signal in her car(which we both laughed so hard at every single time) because it didn’t flash on it’s own! She was always so bubbly and friendly. She was such a bright light and will certainly be missed.
Our Heartfelt sympathy for Nikki’s family. Prayers for all of you.

I did not get to meet Nikki in person ,but knew her through her mother rhonda and my brother Alan frisbee . She was a very strong young woman ,full of life and a friend to everyone she met. My prayers go out to her family and friends in this time of mourning.rest in peace beautiful angel.
This is the hardest condolence that I have ever had to write.
This world will never be the same without Nikki. She was a warrior in every sense of the word. She fought..and she fought hard. This morning I woke up and just said…”she’s gone”. God gently reminded me that Nikki was HIS child. It was not for me to question “why”. HE knew why she had to go “home”. Nevertheless, I wish I could have taken her place. I will always wish that. One of the mysteries of life is why some have to go so young.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family. I am praying that God will give them the peace that passeth all understanding. I pray that through her passing we all will realize the importance of “another day”…that we will be as kind as she was…that we will smile as she
did.,, and just maybe we will find some older lady to dance in a grocery aisle as she did with me.
We laughed so hard…we hugged..and we both said at the same time…”see you later”…and laughed some more.
So one last thing…”see you later Nikki”. We will dance again!!
I love you sweetie!!
