A celebration of life will be held Saturday, November 1, 2014 at 2 pm at O’Connor Memorial Chapel. O’Connor Funeral Home has been entrusted with handling the arrangements. Nikki was born March 1, 1973 to Joseph and Viki Schabarker in Great Falls. She was the youngest of six children including her twin sisters and three big brothers. She came from a large loving family who always took care of each other.
