Nikki Artis, 63, of Jamestown, ND, passed away Wednesday, April 15, 2014 at her home of a broken heart.

Nicolette Christine Artis was born on July 13, 1951, in Riverdale, ND, the daughter of Edward and Hulda (Kilber) Machau. She graduated from Valley City High School in 1969 and married Daniel Artis on March 2, 1970. She worked as a bookkeeper for 32 years while raising two sons in Jamestown, ND. Nikki was active in her church and community and loved spending time with her friends, children, and grandchildren. She especially enjoyed spending part of the winter in North Carolina with her sister Catherine and family.
