She lived her entire life for her family. She enjoyed spending quality time with her husband, kids and grandkids. She followed the kids' activities, loved getting to know their friends, and was truly interested in their day to day lives. A phrase commonly heard out of the mouths of the grandkids was 'I'm just hanging with Gramma'. Nyla enjoyed her cardinal and Elvis collections, shopping locally, baking, sending greeting cards, having coffee with friends, watching her birds and squirrels, and keeping up to date with the latest fashions and trends. She will always be remembered for her huge heart, beautiful smile, and her witty remarks that left countless people laughing. She was a member of the Maryhill and IC Parishes.
