Nova was always upbeat, easy to be around and ready to serve with a smile on her face. Nova was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She was very social and enjoyed making new friends. She was known for her love of life and of children, her kindness and generosity even in hard times. She cared more about others than herself. She loved dark chocolate, singing, her children and her many nieces & nephews.

Nova’s family is thankful for the expressions of sympathies they have received and are especially grateful for all of the prayers offered up on their behalf.
