Be it by birth, marriage or choice all were treated and loved as her own children which she adored eternally along with all her grand and great grandchildren. Nita retired from Hill Air Force Base after years of being a packer, her favorite building to work in was 214, she made many friends there which she thought of often when she moved out of state to live with her youngest daughter.

Mom was a true believer of God, she spoke with such love, compassion, tenderness and understanding of God’s word that even nonbelievers stopped and took notice. She could recite the bible front to back, which gave comfort always but more so in her final days as it did to her children.

Mom loved fishing, camping, bingo, penny slots machines, singing with her sisters and TV. Mom would often joke that she hoped that they had good TV shows in heaven and no commercials or streaming lag. Mom had a warm welcoming smile, and a loud contagious laugh that could be heard sometimes blocks away. Mom knew no strangers as people were drawn to her, she could talk to a complete strange and within five minutes it would seem like they were old friends that happen to run into each again.
