|
significant milestone on May 24, 2015; and |
|
WHEREAS, Born in Roaring Springs in 1925 to John Duff and Myra |
|
Kelly Green, the former Nina Lee Green grew up on the Greenland |
|
Stock Farm and was baptized at Roaring Springs First Baptist Church |
|
in 1936; after graduating from Roaring Springs High School in 1942, |
|
she began her career as an artist at Koen's Studio in Lubbock, where |
|
she initially hand-colored portraits and later worked as a |
|
photographer and designer on the Texas Tech University yearbook; |
|
and |

|
on January 18, 1946, and they made their home in Abernathy for 26 |

|
resided ever since; over the course of more than six decades |
|
together, the couple became the parents of three children, David, |
|
Terri, and Jerry, and Mrs. Sinclair devoted herself to her roles as |
|
wife, mother, and homemaker, supporting her husband in his career |
|
and her children in their studies and their many extracurricular |

activities; she eventually knew the joy of welcoming into her |
|
family grandchildren and great-grandchildren, to whom she is |
|
affectionately known as "Sugar"; and |
|

|
her strong faith, Nina Sinclair has gracefully reached the 90-year |
|
mark and continues to enrich the lives of all who are fortunate |
|
enough to know her; now, therefore, be it |

|
prepared for Mrs. Sinclair as an expression of high regard by the |
|
