Nina Nathan Kamin, born Nina Lee Nathan in New Orleans on the 6th of November 1919, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, the 18th of September 2011.
A resident of Houston since the age of two, she graduated from San Jacinto High School in 1936 and went on to attend the University of Southern California before returning to Houston.
Nina met the first love of her life, Jerome Chapman, and they married on the 7th of November 1938. Nina & Jerry were blessed with three devoted children - Linda, Andrew and Susan. In 1965, Nina was widowed at the young age of 45. On the 3rd of September 1971, Nina married the second love of her life, Jake Kamin.
Nina's creative style was something that influenced every part of her life. From her years as a jewelry buyer and designer to her talent to create beauty in everything that she touched, she expressed her innate ability to make the world around her and others more meaningful. Nina's immaculate attention to detail was intrinsic in everything she did.
Known for her style and grace, Nina was always there to extend her wisdom and life experiences to her friends and loved ones. Nina's compassion and thoughtfulness toward others had no boundaries. She was often called upon for comfort, support and guidance and she gave of herself unselfishly.
Nina was pre-deceased by her parents, Etta and Tobe Nathan; husbands, Jerome Chapman and Jake Kamin; Nina's daughter, Linda Chapman Golden; Jake's daughter, Karen Kamin Armer; and lifelong devoted friend, Octavia "Red" Mitchell.
