A native of McDowell County, she was a daughter of the late Oscar and Eula Morgan Grant. She was also preceded in death by two sisters, Arlette Craig and Mary Ann Hall and three brothers, George Grant, Ross Grant and Gollie Grant.
Nina enjoyed her full-time job at A.C. Reynolds High School, working with students and helping to change and mold their lives, as well as her part-time work at the Biltmore Estate, where she prepared bows, flower arrangements and seasonal decorations.
She enjoyed being around people and never met a stranger. She was dearly loved by her family, friends and all who knew her. She was an excellent cook, but also enjoyed eating out with her family. Her grandkids provided her with so much love and joy and she truly cherished every moment with them.
