Watch Nicole's Funeral

Nicole Rindahl, age 35, of Minneapolis, MN, formerly Mahnomen, MN, died Tuesday, May 11, 2021 from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.

Nicole Mae Rindahl was born July 4, 1985, in Minneapolis the daughter of Pamela Leonard and Tim Rindahl.  Growing up, her childhood years were split between the Twin Cities and the Mahnomen area.  Nikki attended Edison High School and graduated from Mahnomen High School.  Following her schooling, she moved to Fargo, ND, and welcomed a beautiful daughter, Kordia.  While living in Fargo, Nikki worked at Johnny Carino's as a hostess and server.  She met Michael Hernandez and the two were united in marriage.  Although, Nikki and Mike divorced they remained friends and Mike continued to be supportive of Kordia.  Later, she dated Ryan White and together they were blessed with two sons, Debwe and Arrow.  The family lived in Fargo for a time before moving to Bemidji, MN, to make their home for several years.  Nikki then made the move back to the Minneapolis Metro where she has lived since with her friend and companion, Herb Jones.

Nikki entered this world with a bang on July 4 ^th and she has been a firecracker ever since.  However, she was rather disappointed when she got old enough to realize the fireworks her dad was lighting weren't just for her birthday!  Nikki was a wonderful person who will be remembered as an independent soul with a free spirit.  Her go with the flow and laid-back attitude lent itself to be non-judgmental and helped to express her love for people.  Everyone was family and she cherished the times spent with her friends and family.  Nikki embraced her native American culture and enjoyed attending Pow Wows and making dream catchers.  She also loved spending time in the woods and just taking in the simple beauty of what nature had to offer, usually barefooted.  In addition to family, Nikki had a passion for animals of all kinds, often taking on rescues or ones in need of extra love and attention.  Although gone from this life to soon, her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

Nikki is survived by her dad, Tim (Cheryl) Rindahl of Waubun, MN; mom, Pam (John) Boomgaarden of Cross Lake, MN; step-dad, William Johnson of North Minneapolis; daughter, Kordia Rindahl of Perham, MN; sons, Debwe and Arrow White of Bemidji, MN; grandma, Joann Johnson of North Minneapolis; her significant other, Herb Jones of Minneapolis; sisters: Breanna Leonard of Perham, Amanda (Winston) Wadena of Naytahwaush, MN, and Kimberly (James) Roadfeldt of West Fargo, ND; 10 nieces and nephews: Glen, Chance, Harper, Camren, Carissa, David, Vivian, Kamrynn, Sterling and baby Leonard, arriving soon, in addition to her aunts and uncles.  She is preceded in death by her grandparents and several aunts and uncles.
