Our beautiful Nita was born in Rochester, NH the daughter of John and Mary Dean. The majority of her school years were spent in New Durham, and she graduated from Kingswood Regional High School in 1983. Nita's life was centered around her family. Beyond this, she was an avid reader and craftsman. Her beautiful knitting and jewelry projects are enjoyed by family and friends. Nita was very spiritual and loved nature, especially the ocean, lighthouses, clouds, flowers, and the dragonfly, which are reflected in her photos.
