She was predeceased by her brothers, Warren, Edward and Gordon; and sisters, Genevieve, Kathleen and Helen. Nina was born on January 19, 1923 in Winnipeg and spent her childhood in the Springhill District near Neepawa. She served in the R.C.A.F. during the Second World War, graduated as an RN from the Misericordia Hospital, and was a longtime member of the Eastern Star Lodge. Nina dedicated her life to caring for others as a wife, mother, grandmother, and nurse. She lived her life with a quiet dignity, a ready wit, and a highlight for her was spending time with family. The family would like to extend a thank you to the WFPS, HSC emergency personnel, and all who have offered their kindness, support, and sympathy. Cremation has taken place.
