Nina grew up in Milpitas, California and attended Samuel Ayer High School and then went on to Continuation School. When she was young she had fond memories of going to the Teen Club Dances sponsored by the City of Milpitas with her sisters Janie and Mona. She also loved being at home with her Mom and family when she was growing up. Nina had a great time when she was young and then her spirit grew later in life and she began a close relationship with God.
Nina was a very quiet person, not one for the limelight, but you would have never known that when you got her in front of a Karaoke Microphone. She sang like a Rockstar! She kept her good friends close to her heart. She always cherished the Love of her Life, Jaime Duran, even when he passed away. She will always be remembered as a very grateful, caring, loving person. She kept a deep faith in the Lord, and put her energy into her Bible studies. We will all cherish the life and memories we shared with her. Nina will now reunite with many more of her beloved family members in heaven who will welcome her with open arms.
