Nina Marie Bricker, 82, passed away at 12:46 pm on Monday, April 8, 2024 at Alton Memorial Hospital.
She was born on July 31, 1941 in Rochester, IL to Clara Violet Louesa Howard.
She married James Lee Bricker Sr. on July 29. 1969 in Alton.
Nina graduated from Hillsboro High School. She was a loving and dedicated wife and mother. Her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren were her world. She enjoyed many things in life, including gardening, sewing, and crafting. She often made gifts for family and friends.

She was preceded in death by Mother, Clara Violet Howard; a brother; Kenneth Howard; one great-grandson, Domanic Ean Ray Brown; and a son-in-law, James Jones.
