She and Val were active volunteers in their church, Nita especially in the kitchen. Nita was very outgoing, made friends easily and loved anything social; polka dances, traveling and camping with friends, dinner parties and neighborhood block parties where she was most likely the organizer. She loved to cook, and it wasnt unusual for her to have a couple dinner parties a week. One of her favorite hobbies was baking cookies and she supplied the church and friends with some of her favorite homemade recipes. Nita and Val were truly loving companions and friends throughout life. In retirement they enjoyed traveling together in their motorhome and spending time together and with friends and family.
