Nikki valued relationships and spent a lifetime making friends and keeping them. She was predeceased by her parents, Paul Drum and Beryl Goodwin Drum.
Nikki was born on Jan. 28, 1943, in Garnett. She was a bright light from the beginning. Always a quick study and eager to take life by the tail, Nikki graduated from Westphalia High School at only 16 years old. She attended college at Chanute Community College, then transferred to Emporia State.
Nikki and Glen owned several businesses throughout their 46 years of marriage. Nikki loved politics and was known as “The best of the best in Kansas Legislative Services.” She committed herself to state government from 1991 to 2010 and worked for a variety of representatives and senators.
Nikki, a lifelong supporter of women’s educational philanthropies, was a member of the P.E.O. for 32 years in Chapters P and JI in Holton and Chapter EP in Topeka. She served as the Kansas State P.E.O. President in 2005-2006.
Nikki loved to entertain and made interior design seem effortless. Her sense of style resonated in her persona, her home and the thousands of parties she hosted in her lifetime. She loved all things beautiful and exemplified living life to the fullest. The families favorite quote from Nikki is, “If you can’t see my jewelry from across the street, it is not worth wearing.”
