Nashida was devoted to her family, faith and friends. She was proud of her children and grandchildren and celebrated their success. She enjoyed playing Bingo and the penny slots at Graton Casino. She also enjoyed dancing to all types of music, especially the Blues and R&B, more specifically BB King, Bobby Blue Bland and Al Green.
Nashida had a smile that could light up the room and was a kind, loving and giving woman. Her motto was, "If I have it and you need it, even if it's my last, it's yours." As in life, she gave in death as she donated her body to science. She was truly an angel on Earth.
