Nina graduated from Terra Linda High School, in San Rafael, CA class of 1966. She was a three-time national roller-skating champion in the dance division. She later worked as an escrow officer, and in 1985 along with her husband Dennis, opened her own escrow company, SeaTac Escrow in Federal Way, Washington that she ran for 25 years. She enjoyed traveling, cruising, wearing matching sweatshirts with Dennis, cuddling with her puppies, enjoying See’s Candies, all things Christmas, and being the best cheerleader and confidant to her daughter Jamie, who she adopted the day she was born.
