She lived at Windsor Care Retirement Village in Shirley where she died "peacefully" on May 29. She would always tell staff at the village she was "going to be the oldest New Zealander one day". At her 108th birthday party in September, Nina received a hand-written card from Prime Minister Jacinda Arden and cards from Mayor Lianne Dalziel, the Queen and Government House.
