Nikki Lynn Hamilton, beloved mother, daughter, and dedicated oncology nurse, passed away peacefully at her home on June 21, 2025, at the age of 70. Born in Dallas, Texas, she was the eldest of four children and raised in Euless, Texas. She graduated from The University of Texas at Arlington with a degree in nursing, embarking on a rewarding career where she devoted many years to caring for her patients.
Nikki had a passion for life that was evident in her love for flowers and gardening, horses, the beach, and enjoying good food-especially Mexican cuisine-paired with a margarita. She also deeply cherished spending time with her family and friends.
Nikki is survived by her son, James Dunlap and his wife Jeannie; her daughter, Laura Rush and her husband Andrew; grandchildren, Juliette, William, and Brenna; father, Barney Bethea; two brothers Barry Bethea and Brad Bethea; and several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her brother, Barney "Bo" Bethea, and her mother, Emily Palmer Farrison.
A private family committal will occur, with a gathering of family and friends to celebrate her memory to follow at a later date. Nikki will be deeply missed, but her spirit will forever remain in our hearts, as a guiding light reminding us of the love and kindness she so passionately shared. Her sweet, nurturing spirit and kind heart touched the lives of many, leaving a lasting impact on all who knew her.
