Nita was a wonderful woman of faith and a devoted member of Georgetown Baptist Church in Pottsboro.

Together, Nita and Max enjoyed traveling extensively in their coach, creating countless memories along the way. Above all else, Nita cherished her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who were the pride of her life. One of her greatest blessings was being able to spend Christmas with all of her family for the final time.
