Mikki was diagnosed with Lupus while attending Anaconda Job Corp. She fought a long hard battle over half her life, but her spirit never lagged. Mikki loved being home with her two companions BB and Blu, she loved being with her family who were her everything...her support system, along with a deep faith; she loved hanging out with friends, laughing and joking, attending concerts, riding horses when able, loved attending rodeos, powwows and powwow food, swimming when able to, and listening to a wide variety of music from the 60's to the most current songs. Mikki was an accomplished beader. She was loved by so many; her smile was infectious and could light up a room. She had such a crazy sense of humor when with her sisters Natasha, Colleen, Kasey and Carla. Katelyn Nation, Wolf Point, MT was close as sister bonds could get. She loved to visit with her sister Belina as often as it was allowed due to the distant. A high point in her life was adopting her son, Koden, who called her "Auntie-Mom."
