Nikki “Tweety Bird” Grabowski

On Wednesday, December 3, 2025, God called another one of his angels home, our precious Nicole, at the age of 45, in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Nikki was born on February 20, 1980 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She is survived by her parents Ernst (Christine) Grabowski and Tracy (Jamie) Sydorowicz; siblings Amanda (Brian) Atchison, Ashley (Victor) Grabowski and Ernst (Pamela) Grabowski; Grandmothers Sandra Seidel and Joan Grabowski; Aunts and Uncles Jessica (Jeffrey) Armstrong, Joshua (Heather) Seidel, Patricia (Raymond) Ice, Barbara (Marco) Grabowski, Darin (Dimity) Grabowski, Susan (Walter) Wooley and Gregory (Dawn) Grabowski; Nieces and Nephews Kyleigh (Mike) Brotzman, Damian Gonzalez, Hayden Meyer, Jacob (Brianna) Grabowski, Dominic (Lindsey) Grabowski, Gracelyn Atchison, Wyatt Atchison and Elliot Grabowski; Great Nephews Hudson Knapp and Levi Zakrzewski.

She is preceded in death by her grandparents Ernst Grabowski, Diane (Gordie) Langhoff, niece Samantha Grabowski and cousin Hailey Armstrong.

From the very beginning, Nicole faced challenges with courage and grace. Though life placed many limitations before her, she carried a beauty and gentleness that touched everyone who knew her.

In her early years, she was able to walk and even without the ability to hear or speak, she expressed herself with a spirit that needed no words. The one time she did speak, she gave her mother the most precious gift of all saying, “I love you, Mommy.” Those words became a treasured reminder of her deep capacity for love.

Despite her struggles, she remained a beautiful soul – pure, resilient and full of quiet strength. She taught those around her about unconditional love, patience and what it means to find joy in the smallest moments. Her presence was a blessing and her absence leaves an irreplaceable space in the hearts of her family who loved her dearly.

Nikki is now free from a body that limited her and reunited with peace. Though she will be deeply missed her family finds comfort in knowing she is finally whole.

Visitation from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM, with service at 4:00 PM, on Friday, January 2, 2026 at Krause Funeral Home, 12401 West National Avenue, New Berlin, Wisconsin.
