Dominique D'Lynn Singleton-Johnson Obituary (1973 - 2023)

I sought the Lord and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears Psalms 34:4 Dominique D 'Lynn Singleton on September 9, 2023 at 12:53 am answered the call and transitioned to a place in the heavens where she will have a forever life. Dominique known to all as "Nikki "by those who loved her. Nikki born on September 13, 1973 in Galveston, Texas was the second child to Donald and Joyce Singleton. Nikki in her early years attended public school in LaMarque, Texas and graduated from La Marque High School in the year 1992. Nikki knew she would follow her passion to become an educator as she dearly loved children and had a strong desire to teach. Nikki continued her secondary education at Texas State University where she graduated with her Bachelors in Education. Nikki's dedication, intelligence, great enthusiasm, and an excellent work ethic earned her respect of her colleagues in her teaching positions at San Leon ISD, Dickinson ISD, and Texas City ISD. Nikki was also twice a recipient of the Teacher of the Year Award. Nikki was a kind compassionate and vibrant person who touched the lives of everyone she met. Nikki's compassion for children and their education was always first and foremost in her life. Nikki was a member of the Gamma Omega Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., La Marque Texas. She enjoyed her duties and her Sorority Sisters. In Nikki's free time, you would find her always with one or both of the girls. Madison and Jade were everything to her world. Nikki also cared for her retired parents, her mom Joyce, you might say they were road buddies, they would plan trips for shopping and exploring their favorite restaurants together. Dad, Donald would reap all the benefits of Nikki's wonderful cooking, haircuts and shaves. A true Daddy's girl. Nikki also loved a good party and you would often find her and her sister Dawn dancing until the music shut down, two crazy sisters finding joy in this crazy life. Nikki's fur babies were treated as her true babies. They are Nala, Oliver and Chiyoko...they loved "Mama Nikki". The rocky love/hate relationship with fur baby brother "Ziggy "was always a good laugh for everyone. Nikki found the joy and love of her life in her marriage to Ronald Johnson. The two became inseparable, and "family unit" was a true term for them. When Nikki joined the Johnson Family they became one complete united front. Her mother-in-love Dorothy Johnson adored and cared for her along with the brothers and sisters in the Johnson family. Ronald and Nikki's shared love was evident and showed greatly in her time as she faced declining health and transition. Ronald Johnson stayed committed to Nikki with love until she drove away in her limo to prepare for eternal rest. Nikki's departure leaves a void in the hearts of many but aren't we glad that each of us were touched by her love and spirit. Leave it up to Nikki to give everyone that extra push or a gentle "hands up". Nikki is preceded in death by grandparents Frank and Laura Washington, Sr., Jerry and Isabelle Singleton, and Brother Gregory Dennis.
