Nina was born and raised in Dryden, Ontario. After losing both parents, her maternal grandparents Steven and Caroline raised Nina along with her sister Stephanie. She was very hurt when she lost her only sister but strived to continue living.

At a young age, she became very fluent in Oji-cree which allowed her to converse with her grandparents.  She loved learning, reading, singing, and going to youth camps. She grew up with all her cousins throughout her life and was especially close to Marlene as they were two days apart. She had a special bond with her auntie Denise because she took her under her wings when she became a teenager. When she became a mother herself, she was very devoted and loving to her three children.  She was a kind, compassionate and a courageous woman.  She was loving to everyone she met and always had the brightest smile in the room.
