Nicki Edwards Obituary
Nicki was born in Fort Smith, Arkansas on March 8, 1946. She was the first of seven children, born to Glenn and Mary Edwards.
She was preceded in death by her parents, two brothers, Glenn Michael and Mathew Allen, and her beloved sister, Cecelia Bridget. She attended St. Anne's' School, and Porterville High school, graduating in 1964. She was a lifelong supporter of, The Porterville Barn Theater. She appeared in many plays, directed plays, and was the Barn Theater president for many years.
Nicki was a caring, generous woman who wanted to see justice in the world.
She loved animals and took in numerous dogs no one wanted. Nicki was a brilliant photographer and preserved memories in pictures for families too numerous to mention. She will be greatly missed by her loving family and friends. As yet, there's no memorial service scheduled. However, if anyone would like to make a donation, in Nicki's name to: The Porterville Barn Theater, or Lindsey Central Valley Rescue Railroad, it would greatly be appreciated.

Nicki Edwards took the photographs of my husband's and my wedding on August 31, 1974. She had such a generous and caring spirit, which I will always remember every time I look at our photos. I'm sure many others will cherish her memory in just the same way.

Nicki did a family portrait for me, but what struck me more than anything else was her dedication to helping animals - abandoned, lost, you name it. We sparred frequently over politics, but she was the rare person who could differ strenuously with you and remain civil and a friend. I will remember and admire her always for such wonderful traits.

Nicki remained a dear friend from our early days at St. Anne's, and I will miss her sunny spirit and sense of humor. We had a lot of good times over many, many years. She was a gifted writer, in addition to her photography skills, and she was dedicated to the welfare of the less fortunate, human and animal. It's hard to say goodbye.

Nicki wasn’t just my friend. She was my honorary big sister. We worked together for more than 40 years and she taught me about the artistry of photography. She was smart, kind, funny and I’ll miss her more than I can put into words. I love ya sis. Rest In Peace.

Nicki was a phenom. Not just an immensely talented photographer, but the kind of human being to which everyone should aspire. She was passionate about everything in which she was involved, a gifted artist, a great friend, and leaves behind an enviable legacy.
