Lucy Nicole Perry (Nikki) went home to Jesus on January 22, 2021 at the age of 42. Nikki was born in Fort Myers, Florida on September 17, 1978.

As a child and young adult, she used her creative talents to refurbish old furniture, redesign clothing, paint and decorate. Nikki loved animals and playing competitive games.

Beloved daughter, cherished sister, and beautiful mother and friend, she was loved by many and will be remembered for her tough yet sweet spirit.

Nikki was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Buckshot and Donna Dunaway; paternal grandparents, William and Lucy Perry; father, Jeff Perry; and two babies, Samari and Michael, who went to be with Jesus at birth. She is survived by five sons and one daughter: Drake Maldonado of Orlando, FL; Deacon Maldonado of Mascotte, FL; Phillip Watts of Lake Butler, FL; Costa Daryl Hughley (CJ) of Apopka, FL; Andrew Gaylord of Live Oak, FL;and Leven Reyes of Orlando, FL. She will live on in her children, and we will reunite again in heaven.

The family will hold a memorial service at a later date to celebrate her life.
