She also leaves many aunts, uncles and cousins residing in Indiana and Indonesia and a host of many friends. She was exceptionally loved and cared for by the Long and Tabaian families. Growing up in Forest, Nikki was an outstanding swimmer for the Rainbow Forest and Lynchburg YMCA swim teams. She broke many city records, which still stand today.

Nikki has been living in Sterling, Virginia and was employed by Pediatric Specialists of Fairfax as a project manager. Nikki enjoyed her work, frequently making sweet treats for her fellow employees.
