Nina Martin, age 93, of Norman, Oklahoma, passed away Thursday, March 23, 2023. She was born January 25, 1930, in Vernon, Texas.
Nina was preceded in death by her husband, Arthur L. Martin, Jr.; her daughter, Lisa Randall; her mother, Vida Boman; her father, E.G. Boman; and her second mother, Eula Boman. She is survived by her son, Larry J. Martin of Norman; and her son-in-law, Joseph Larry Randall of Moore.
Nina was a loving wife and mother who established 35 homes for her family as they moved frequently due to her husband’s career as a consultant in the oil fields. At the age of 46, Nina started college at the University of Oklahoma and obtained a legal assistant certificate in 1984.
Nina enjoyed sewing, “Y” water aerobics and Bible study. She wished to be known as a committed Christian rather than a cultural Christian and believed that how we respond to God is all important. A few of her life-guiding scriptures were:
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ~ John 3:16
The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all. ~ John 3:31
God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you. ~ Romans 1:9
And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. ~ John 6:39
