Nikki Hart, age 42, passed from this life Thursday, September 18, 2025, after a lengthy illness surrounded by family. Nikki was born June 20, 1983 in Lake Charles, LA.

Nikki Hart, a fun-loving spirit with a heart full of devotion to her family, she left behind cherished memories and a legacy of love.

Nikki lived life to the fullest and found joy in the simple things that made her happiest—mud riding, deer hunting, and spending time with her friends and family. Above all, her greatest love was her children, who were the center of her world and the source of her deepest pride.

A die-hard Razorback fan, Nikki could always be counted on to cheer on her Hogs with unwavering enthusiasm. She loved listening to KLOVE, where the music and message filled her heart and encouraged her spirit. Her greenhouse, built with love by her husband, became her special place of peace and solitude, where she felt most at home surrounded by nature.

Nikki also looked forward to her annual trips to mud parks, where laughter, adventure, and fellowship were always a guarantee. Those who knew her will remember her vibrant personality, her loyalty to those she loved, and her ability to make life fun and meaningful.

Though she is gone too soon, Nikki's love, laughter, and spirit will live on forever in the hearts of her children, family, and all who were blessed to know her.
