Nita Tomlinson brought life and energy to our family. I could tell in the 1960s that she and my cousin, Mart Tomlinson, were a great match. Their daughter, Cara, added to their joy as a family. Nita gave so much of her life to the education of youngsters in the various cities in which they lived. All of the children she taught learned more as a result of the year they spent in her class. She will be missed by family and friends alike. Thank you, Nita.

I will always remember how kind Nita and Mart were to me when I stayed at their Amarillo home as a teenager. Nita had a great wit and I will miss her. Much love to her daughter, Cara.

Nita was my best friend’s mama. This is our last photo together. She was so special to me and treated me like her own daughter. She always made me laugh with her dry wit, spunky attitude, and fabulous stories. I will miss her dearly and will never forget her. ❤️

We are very sorry we cannot express our condolences in person, but know we are thinking about you and sending prayers.  Even though we didn't see Nita often, we have wonderful memories of her and Mart.  Her life is your legacy, her love was her gift...and your memories of her are the comfort you'll keep in your heart forever. 
Peace, Prayers and Blessings,

Bob and Cheryl DaPrato

Phyllis and I were saddened to learn of Nita’s passing but thankful that her suffering has ended and that she is now reunited with Mart.
