During her life in Galveston, she worked as a secretary for O’Connell High, and later The University of Texas Medical Branch until her retirement.

After her first marriage ended, she eventually met and married Billy Fox. Together, they enjoyed travelling in their RV to many exciting destinations.

After living in Galveston until 2011, they moved to Bastrop.

Nina was a very creative lady. She excelled in: homemaking, sewing, painting, gardening, and cooking. Later in life, she continued her artistic expression with quilting.

Throughout life, her deepest joy was loving and caring for the many dogs and cats to which she gave a home. This was her passion.
