It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Nikki Linn Riddle, age 50, on February 23, 2025.

A true light in the lives of all who knew her. Her radiant, big smile was her signature— a reflection of the boundless joy she shared with everyone around her.

Summers spent by the pool were her happiest days, surrounded by loved ones and laughter.

Her unwavering love for the Crimson Tide was only matched by her passion for singing upbeat pop songs (a little off key) at the top of her lungs.

To honor her memory, we invite you to listen to some of the songs that truly encapsulate her spirit: I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack,

Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen by Baz Luhrmann, or Good as Hell by Lizzo. Let the music inspire you to live fully, love deeply, and embrace life.

She leaves behind two daughters, Brooklyn Hobbs and Saidee Williams (Jake), who were her pride and joy. Her grandsons, Sawyer and Vedder, were her constant source of laughter & light. She is also survived by her father Roy Riddle (Chris), her brother Adam Powell (Emily), nephews Colton and Carter, and niece Corinne.

She is at peace to be reunited with her mother, Cynthia Powell.

As we say goodbye, we find comfort in celebrating the beauty & sunshine she brought to our lives.
