They both were residing at the Oaks at Radford Hills for several years. Nina was a devoted wife and loving mother to her four children. She enjoyed spending time with her husband and family R.V.ing and fishing. Big family get-togethers were her favorite things and she was a wonderful cook. No one loved playing games and working crossword puzzles more than Nina. She had such a smart mind and a quick wit about her. Her Christadelphian faith was a big part of her life. She enjoyed the church fellowship and functions. Her faith got her through many hard times in life.

Survivors include her daughter and son-in-law, Brenda and Val Click; grandchildren, Tammy Hutchings, Johnny Ray Thomas, David Bromley, Cindy Barkschat, Paul Poindexter, and Stephanie Coffee; many great-grandchildren; and sons-in-law, Al Bromley and Tommy Poindexter.

The family would like to thank the nurses and caregivers at the Oaks at Radford Hills and Hendrick Hospice. They were a great comfort to the family.
