Nina Margaret Kirkadly, served in the United States Army as a Captain; this experience fine-tuned her attention to detail, her self confidence and strong leadership ability. She enjoyed travelling especially to Indian River and throughout the Upper Peninsula, grateful for the outdoors. Throughout her life she valued time spent fly fishing. She was creatively gifted, expressing herself through her painting and drawing. Following completion of studies, she graduated from Marygrove College and eventually taught music at Cantrick Middle School in Monroe. Nina found fulfillment in living a humble life with unattachment to physical objects, always searching for needed items at second hand stores. In her generosity, she supported many charities throughout her life. Her generous heart also led her to ask others to pray for those in need. The Mass of the Resurrection was celebrated at St. Mary on November 20. May God’s promise of the Resurrection comfort and console those who grief her death, including her lifelong friends, Maureen Romanoqski, Kari McMullen, Madeline Ferdin and Benjamin Ferdin.
