Nicole DREHER Obituary
DREHER, Nicole (Nissen)
(Age 46)
February 26, 1972 -
September 17, 2018
Nikki was born and raised in Spokane, WA. She graduated from West Valley High School in 1990.
Throughout her battle with cancer, Nikki remained a source of strength and courage and comfort for everyone she knew. She was often found comforting those around her and we are grateful for her wisdom and encouraging words.
She is survived by Jeff Cunningham and their children Connor, Mackenzie and Cody; her brothers Lane Nissen and Craig Frost (Heather), her sister Chantelle Ovnicek (Tim) and her loving parents Craig and Becky Frost. She is aunt Nikki to her nieces and nephews: Kyla, Ashlyn, Brielle, Dyllan, Kynlee, Lily, Avery, Domek, Dekker, William, Jordan, Kenyon, Kruze, Knight and, of course, Grandma Nik couldn't get enough of her grandson Parker.
Nikki found joy in nearly everything she did and found a true calling as a hairstylist and defacto counselor/mom/friend to many of her clients.
She is missed so very much and would not want us to be sad, and to that end, Nikki has requested we have a celebration of life in her honor where "tears are tolerated and laughter reigns".
The celebration of life open house is Saturday, September 29, 2018 from 4-8 pm at Good Samaritan Event Center located at 17121 E. 8th Ave., Spokane Valley, WA 99016
In lieu of flowers, please send donations in Nikki's name to Hospice of Spokane.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
