Later, as a widow, Nina relocated to Markham closer to family where she grew new bonds with Wilson Street neighbours and through Markham Seniors In Motion. Nina loved to knit, play euchre, canasta and learned Maj Jong as well as the occasional slots at Casino Rama. In 2014 she moved to Rouge Valley Retirement Residence where she enjoyed the close-knit environment and support of the caring staff and friends. Nina will be deeply missed by son Gary, and daughters Karen Syjud (Bruce), Dawn Dunn (Timothy), and Kimberly. She is loved and will be fondly remembered by 5 grandchildren Joel (Tamara), Kevin, Rachel (Derek), Bryan (Tara), and Adam as well as 7 great grandchildren Noah, Eli, Ella, Jordan, William, Sage and new baby Thomas. The family wishes to extend their sincere thanks to the dear friends, staff and caregivers at Rouge Valley Retirement Residence and to the tireless efforts of physicians, nurses, personal support and diagnostic staff at Markham-Stouffville Hospital.
