Nija attended Harding High School where she graduated in 1992. She pursued a career as a Certified Nursing Assistant, which she excelled at and discovered her passion of helping and caring for others. She was a very warm and welcoming person that invited everyone in need to her home with open arms. Through her abundant love she developed the moniker “Mommy”  to all that came to know and love her. Her home was a safe haven for her children and all of their friends. Throughout her life she was devoted mother, wife, grandmother, partner, friend, and confidant,

She accepted Christ at a young age and grew up in church, She attended Grace Lutheran Church where she was an active member and attended every Sunday. She participated in many church fundraisers, was a communal steward, and cleaned the church on many occasions.

She developed MS at a young age but, did not let the diagnosis hold her back from her potential. She found her job as a medical coder gave her a feeling of importance, challenged her, and helped her remember what it meant to help others.

Nija believed in living life to be happy and fearless. Anyone who came to know her over the last few years knew she was LIT! She was the life of the party!
