Tawni Alexis Nicholson was born on September 1, 1992, in Des Moines, Iowa to Mark and Charla (Liston) Nicholson. She graduated from Bondurant High School and recently from Iowa State University. She worked for American Equity as a Service Technician. Tawni was open about her faith in the Lord which gave a light to her spirit. She illuminated every room she entered with her contagious smile. Tawni was the true definition of the word ‘sweet.’ She was a kind and beautiful person who had retained her childlike innocence, even into adulthood. She was a devoted daughter and she loved dogs, especially her dog, Jasmine. She was a very hard worker and a truly positive person.

Those left to cherish her memory include her grandmothers Dixie Nicholson and Jeri (Lou) Nunez, her aunts and uncles Jerry Nicholson, Steve (Doreen) Nicholson, Chris Nicholson, Liz (Tom) Mathews, Cynthia (Curt) Thye and Sue (Todd) Todavich, her boyfriend Joe Follet, as well as numerous other extended family and loving friends.

Preceding her in death are her grandfathers Jerry Nicholson Sr. and LeRoy Liston.
