Nieko Lee “Koko” Hall, 50, of Dorr, died unexpectedly Thursday, Dec. 13.

Born Jan. 22, 1968 in Allegan, she was the daughter of Joan and Alan Heslinga. Nieko possessed a happy and fun-loving spirit. She loved to get in the car and head out on road trips with her friends and her family. Going to the beach was her favorite destination; she would lay out for hours “getting her brown on” and drinking Diet Coke.

Nieko was happiest of all, however, when she was with the ones she loved. She was a dedicated and loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend to many.

Besides her parents, Nieko is survived by her son, Nicholas (Shantel) Selvig; siblings, Anita Hall, Wallace (Tracy) Hall, Shocko Hall, Isaac Heslinga, Jaime (Chad) Sauer and Melanie Heslinga (Ciara Jacobs); dear friends, Debby Harvey and Marci Powers-Kaczanowski; two grandchildren, Reese and Elijah and one grandson on the way, Jaxtyn; nieces and nephews, Sam Powers, Elijah Otto-Powers, Isiah Otto-Powers, Kamarie, Keegan, Jaiden, and Rylan Sauer, Beau Hall, Shocko Jai and Savante Hall; and Chumlee, her basset hound best friend

She was preceded in death by her daughter, Lena Selvig; her niece, Ashley Rose Powers; and her nephew, Ronald Jay Powers, Jr.

The family will receive friends at Hopkins Community Church from 10 to 11 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 18, at which time a funeral service will begin. Burial will follow in Maplewood Cemetery.

Memorial donations may be made to the family to assist Nicholas and his family with expenses.
