Nita married Millard C "Jack" Oglesbee in 1947 & later married Albert A "Buck" Hendrix in 1987. Her piano playing was a unique talent that few possess.

Playing the piano was her solace in time of sadness & her joy in times of happiness. After her music, Nita's next joy was baking. Many were the recipients of her cakes & pies.
