She enjoyed playing in the water, riding on her hot cycle and later her three-wheel bike, bowling, and going on walks. She ran track for the Special Olympics. Nicki liked going on field trips on the bus with her friends. She loved the feeling of being dizzy, giggling as she would spin on the merry-go-round or hang upside down on the monkey bars!
Nicole was preceded in death by her father, Richard Soeken. She is survived by her mother, Rita Soeken; sister Leela, brother-in-law Jens, and nephews, Ryan and Jack Voges.
