Nina Mamie Setzer
Nina Mamie Setzer, nee Morrison, was born Saturday July 13, 1918, at
Cherryville, Missouri, a daughter of the late John Everett Morrison and
Elsie Madge Callahan Morrison.
She entered eternal rest Thursday, April 1, 2004, at Parkland Hospital,
Farmington, Missouri, at the age of 85 years, 8 months and 28 days.
On February 7, 1934, Nina was united in marriage to Howard N. Setter. Two
sons and four daughters were born to this union. They enjoyed over
sixty-four years together, before his death, December 6, 1998.
Nina (know as "Dine" by her siblings, "Shan" or "Shanma" by others) loved
to write poetry. She would read some of her special work at church when
the Lord called her to share. Nina loved attending church and was a member
of the Center Ridge Pentecostal Church. She was a very talented and
creative woman. She loved to tell stories of when she was growing up and
had the ability to make up songs to fit most any occasion.
Nina loved to cook, especially for large crowds, and was described as a
very good cook. Nina had one very special quality that everyone could
easily recognize. She loved her children and grandchildren and enjoyed
spending time with each one of them. She had a way of making each one feel
so special and loved.
Nina had fun little things that she created to share with her special
kids. She would have one of the older children get under a bed and she
would then dress his/her hands up with socks and scarves thus creating a
"Mag-a-muffin" in-which all the children could ask questions to and the
Mag-a-muffin would answer yes or no.
She also had a way of hanging a sheet over a doorway, setting a small lamp
under the sheet, and moving about in a way that made her seem to be
walking on the moon. Such love, talent, devotion, and creativity. She will
always be so fondly remembered and so deeply missed.
In addition to Howard she was preceded in death by two sons, Howard Lee
Setzer and Everett Setzer, one daughter, Evelyn Setzer; one son-in-law
John LaRonge; one brother, Kenneth Morrison; two sisters, Ina Mae and
