Nina's career as an artist flourished in the fields of ceramics and painting, wherein she became known for her vibrant works. Her passion for art was matched only by her commitment to community, as she actively participated in the Art Association of Kent, Washington. A lively spirit, she was affectionately referred to as the "Queen Bee" of the Red Hats in Shelton, Washington, where she shared laughter and joy with her friends.
Nina's personality shone through in her love of Jesus Christ, and showed it BIG hugs and radiant smiles for all, making her a beloved figure in the life of everyone who crossed her path. Her interests included Western dancing, where she embraced life with enthusiasm and grace.
A memorial service celebrating Nina's life will be arranged by her family. In honor of her loving spirit, they invite all whose lives she touched to remember her in their hearts. Nina Jean Sires will be deeply missed, but her legacy of love, kindness, and artistry will live on in the memories of those who knew her.
