Denise was born October 6, 1971 in Urbana, OH to David D. and D. Diane (Detwiler) Fairchild. On May 22, 2022 in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands she married John T. Cunningham II, who survives.

Nikki was so full of life and had the most glowing smile that was contagious and brought great energy to any room. She was a free spirit and the life of the party. Nikki enjoyed going to the Eagles in Mechanicsburg to spend time with her friends, riding on the Harley Motorcycle, mushroom hunting, listening to music, fishing, traveling, beach vacations and watching The Ohio State Buckeyes. She loved spending time with her family. Nikki faithfully visited her mother every Sunday and would always trim her bushes when needed. Nikki will always be her mother's "baby girl." Nikki's pride and joy in her life was her son, Timmy; she was always very proud of him and all of his success. Nikki was a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

She is survived by her husband, John T. Cunningham II; son, Timmy (Rachel) Marsalis; step children, Colby and Abbey Cunningham; mother, Diane Fairchild; sister, Dana (Joe) Smith; brothers, Darin (Patty) Fairchild and Derrick (Terri) Fairchild; many nieces and nephews; several other loving family members.
