I've known Nina for over 30 years and had the pleasure of being her co-worker at both Puget Sound Bank and Columbia Bank. Though our career paths separated us, we never lost touch. She was the best banker and freind anyone could hope for and her passing is truly a loss for those that trusted in her advice, wisdom and candor. I guess I would add cartons of More's, bagels and endless paperbacks to DT's list of things we hope they have where she has gone. God bless you dear. PS, It's your turn to buy when I get there.

We were shocked and sad to hear about Nina. We enjoyed knowing her for many years and followed her as she moved through out the years. It was such a pleasure to work with her. She always took very special care of us and always with a laugh or two. She definitely had a positive impact on many peoples lives and she will be sorely missed. Bryan and Kathy Kolb

I was so sad to hear the news about Nina. Hard to believe she has been my banker/friend to me and my family for 20+ years. Whenever I entered the bank it was comforting to find her sitting in her corner office. Whenever I popped my head in to say hi, she always had a compliment to give or that little "chuckle" of hers that made you smile. She always had our best interest in mind & cared about her customers. I will truly miss her.
