Nita was a proud Christian woman and prayer warrior. Her deep faith in the Lord guided her throughout her life, and she was a source of strength and inspiration to all who knew her. Nita had a great heart, often sending thoughtful cards to brighten others' days. She was an amazing cook and never let anyone leave her home hungry. She had an eye for taking pictures and took pride in her photos. She found joy in traveling to Branson and, above all, cherished spending time with her family. Her unwavering commitment to prayer and her love for the Lord will be remembered by all who were blessed to know her. Nita's kindness, faith, and love will live on in the hearts of those she touched.
