Ivor – Francesca Nichole "Niki" Jernigan, 47, passed away September 21, 2022 in her home.

Niki was a dog groomer and had a passion for animals, as she owned her own grooming business for many years.  She loved her family, especially her "J-Boys".  She spent her free time outside in her garden, at the beach, or making arts and crafts.

She is survived by her two sons, Bradley Jernigan (Miranda) and Nicholas Jernigan (Jackson Fox), her mother, Jane Davis Smith, her sister, Ginger Thornton (Norman), several brothers, and several nieces and nephews.  She is predeceased by her father, Charles Edward Lee.

A gathering of friends and family will be Saturday, September 24, 2022 from 1 to 3PM at 31099 Country Club Rd., Franklin, VA 23851.  The family suggests that memorial donations be made to your local animal shelter.
