She graduated from North High School and American Institute of Commerce. Nikki was a force to be reckoned with the kindest soul you could find. She brought so much joy to anyone in her presence. She had the ability to bring out the best in every friend and family member with her wit, humor, and warm smile. Nikki married the love of her life, Adam Sampson, on June 16th, 2001. The two of them went on to create a beautiful life together with their four children Lukas, Ashley, Andrea, and Mitchel. Nikki set a high standard in life when it comes to being a daughter, wife and mother. She set an example on how to be thoughtful, strong, and how to make you feel loved with just one word. Through her battles and struggles, she never complained and took on the path that God had given her. Nikki showed what it means to be relentless, strong, and tough. Her laughter and smile will be forever missed.
Nikki is leaving behind many memories and loved ones, her beloved and devoted husband Adam Sampson, and her four loving children - Lukas, Ashley, Andrea and Mitchel; parents, Robert and Sharon Poell both of Davenport, brothers Eric and Matt (Cindy) Poell.

In the light of Nikki's kindness and desire to help others, the Sampson family kindly asks in lieu of flowers to please consider donating to Nikki’s 11 month old cousin who passed due to congenital heart failure the day previous. The Cann-Dusenberry family is in need of financial and emotional support with the loss of their child. As Nikki watches over Everlee in Heaven, we want to help watch over the Cann-Dusenberry family. We know Nikki would want that.
