Nikki is survived by her husband James Goodchild; children, Jaclynn, Shay and Ruger; a granddaughter, Kinsly; father, Tim Hergesheimer; mother, Sandy Randazzo; brother, Midnight Andrews; sisters, Tina Hulvey, Lacey Andrews, Adreanna Hergesheimer and Kristen Smallwood; father and mother-in-law, Gary and Linda Goodchild, brother-in-law, Jeremie Goodchild and several nieces, nephews, other family members and friends.

Nikki enjoyed the outdoors, especially deer hunting where she would often kill bigger deer than James! Her kids were her pride and joy and she enjoyed taking them swimming and fishing at the river.  She also enjoyed horses, taking care of her chickens, mushroom hunting and barbecues.  The family liked attending gun shows together and she often joked that she only went along to keep James from buying too many. They also enjoyed listening to the Carpenter family play and sing any chance they got. Nikki loved her Bullmastiff dogs and puppies which she took great pride in raising to be wonderful companions for people she sold them to all over the country.  She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
