Our sweet Nikki, wife of Steven Charles Barlow and daughter of Phyllis Hanson Thessing and Ronald Joseph Thessing, entered this world on November 7, 1971. Following closely behind came her four siblings, Heath (Tonnie) Thessing, Andrea (Adam) Sutterfield, Scott (Kelly) Thessing and Bart (Mallory) Thessing, who enriched her childhood days with a close-knit forever bond. As the first grandchild and niece, she was guaranteed to tug on many heart strings throughout her life. She cherished these titles which prepared her to spoil and love her 17 nieces and nephews as her own. In addition to her siblings, she is survived by mother-in-law, Pennie Barlow; step father-in-law, Bill Roland; sister-in-law, Janessa (Andrew) Berry and childhood best friend, Danielle (Richard) Freyaldenhoven. She was preceded in death by her father; her grandparents, J.C. and Nita Thessing, Audrey Thessing and William P. and Helen Hanson; Aunt Glenda Thessing and Uncle Norris Thessing; father-in-law, Thomas Barlow; mother-in-law, Carol Roland and brother-in-law, Scott Barlow.
Nikki graduated from Conway High School, University of Central Arkansas and St. Vincent School of Radiologic Technology, before marrying Steve in 1995. She went on to train and work at St. Vincent Infirmary in ultrasound, eventually working at Conway Regional, Conway Heart Clinic and ultimately retiring from Arkansas Cardiology Clinic. She had a God-given talent for touching each of her patients with genuine kindness. Her knack for organizing get-togethers for family and friends spilled over into the workplace. Nikki sincerely loved helping with office birthday celebrations, holiday festivities and even coordinating uniform colors. She cherished each of the friendships established with her bosses and coworkers.
Nikki and Steve enjoyed boating, camping and off-road side-by-side riding together. These hobbies were a perfect fit for her live-life-to-the-fullest nature. By the hours spent in their company, it was clearly evident Nikki loved her multitude of lake, deer camp and riding friends like family.
Nikki carried herself through her 51 years of life with an outgoing personality, joyful spirit and radiant smile. By God's grace she fought stage-4 cancer with courage, strength and a never-ending positive attitude. She was an inspiration to her immediate family, to her large extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins and to all who knew her.
