Nina Madora Kolsky Obituary (1914 - 2017)

Nina Madora Kolsky of Nampa died Monday, May 1, 2017 at the age of 102. She was born November 14, 1914 in Montpelier, Idaho. She was preceded in death by her husband of 72 years, Raymond Earnest Kolsky; her brothers: Leonard Moore, Charles (Clarissa) Moore, Ray (Zelda) Moore, Russell Moore and grandchild Linda Nelson. Nina & Ray loved to get in their motor home and go to Cascade to boat and fish. She enjoyed working in her flower garden and watching the birds and squirrels. She sewed, canned items from their garden and off and on, worked as a clerk in department and grocery stores. She was a good cook. At one time she played the guitar and still occasionally played the harmonica. The loss of her true love in 2005 set her back at bit, but her quick wit, her sense of humor, and the love of her family kept her going. Nina was a joy to be around and will be greatly missed. Nina is survived by her three children: Leonard (Ina) Kolsky, Donald (Lorna) Kolsky, Georgia (Bill) Bawtinheimer; grandchildren: Dan Kolsky, Russell Kolsky, Georgia (Marvin) Hatt, Darla (Jerry) Thurman, Sandy (Bill) Wallace, Kim (Dennis) Bausch, Todd (Kim) Hibbs, Angela (Mike) Shull; great-grandchildren: Mallery & Kelsey Kolsky, Trista (Larry) Schmitt, Cody (Savannah) Thurman, Maria & Breanne Wallace, Zack (Kristen) Reischman, Jenna Hibbs, Coby & Grace Schull; great-great-grandchildren: Michael & RayAnna Schmitt, Stanley & Allison Thurman; and several nieces & nephews.
