Obituary
Nikkole Paige Martin, 52, of Bridge City, passed away on December 21, 2021, in Beaumont. A visitation will be held on Tuesday, December 28, 2021, at Claybar Funeral Home in Bridge City from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. A funeral service will immediately follow at 11:00 a.m. with Chaplain Kevin Trinkle officiating. Nikki will be laid to rest at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens in Orange.
Born in Orange, Texas on May 5, 1969, she was the daughter of Scott Chandler and Becky (Watson) Chandler. Nikki was a kind soul with a heart-warming smile. Her life overflowed in generosity, integrity, and loyalty. She was a faithful friend and always had just the right words of encouragement and advice. Nikki had the perfect balance of beauty queen and tomboy. As a child Nikki’s favorite times were spent in the country with her cousins. From climbing trees to swimming in the lake, there were many good laughs and special moments. That same sweet girl who would get rough and rowdy, would impress the judges at pageants with her beauty and charm, winning numerous awards including Miss Photogenic. Nikki was a member of the drill team during her junior high school years where she also served as captain. Steve and Nikki were a match made in Heaven. They flowed together so well and enjoyed spending time in their backyard dancing to their favorite music or watching sports on television. Steven, Zachary, and Rebecca were Nikki’s pride and joy and she loved being their mother. Nikki would never turn down an opportunity to listen to Zachary play the guitar, have late night talks with Rebecca or travel to visit Steven, Julia, and Cayden all over the United States. As Nikki would say to her family “It’s disgusting how much I love you.”
She was proceeded in death by her grandmother, Virgie Marie Berwick; grandfather, Sam Watson; and uncles, Donald Watson, and David Watson.
Nikki is survived by her loving husband and best friend, Steve Martin; father, Scott Chandler and wife Patty of Jasper; mother, Becky Belcher and husband Boyd of Bridge City; children, Zachary Arguello of Houston, Rebecca Arguello of Houston and Steven Martin and wife Julia of Pensacola, Florida; grandchildren, Cayden, Reagan and Riley Martin; brothers, R.J. Gardner of Bridge City, Clint Chandler of Nederland, Dakota Shane Chandler of Austin; sisters, Naomi Chandler Koehl of Conroe and Jessica Welborn of Vidor; niece, Becca Gardner of Houston; and numerous other family members and friends.

Nikki and I were Classmates through most of school from the Bridge City High School Class of 1987. Although I am saddened to hear of her passing, I took great joy in reading her obituary as it was so well stated that Nikki had a Lot of Love for So many and a sense if humor that never stopped. To her husband, children and her family, please know that your loss is the loss of many and all of the remaining members of the Class of 1987 hold you up and hold you dearly. Fly High with The Angels, Sweet Girl. You will remain in Our Hearts Forever.

And I will never be the same.She’s with her glorious Savior now no more pain.I’m sure as soon as she sees Jesus she will run into his arms Then she will look for her mamaw.Her Grandmother all ways called her my little shadow.Dear God please give me strength to get through this time, I don’t know how but I do know you will carry me through. And I look forward to kneel at your feet with all my loved ones and give you Glory Honor And Praise. Thank You sweet Jesus precious, Holy Savior. Kiss her for me and tell her momma loves her.
