Nina Lin Stevenson Mason. our loving Wife, Mother and Grandma passed away November 16, 2021 peacefully at home in Sandy, Utah
Nina was born January 31, 1945 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Mary L Nielson (Fletcher) and Parmer Stevenson. Both preceded her in death. Nina was a simple elegant person. She would speak her mind but you always knew where she stood. She was known for her joking sense of humor and her love for golf and bowling.
In her early years she attended and graduated from South High School. Where she met and married Larry Gunn. They had 4 Children Michael, Robert, Debora and Mary.
Nina was known for her famous high heel boomerang. She could make any corner and hit whomever she was aiming for. The kid's say Nina had eyes in the back of her head and always knew if they were up to no good.
She co-owned Certified Collection Service with her mother Mary Fletcher. She worked for many years with her mother before her mother’s passing. She worked for several different companies as a bookkeeper until she retired.
Later she than remarried James Mayer who shortly passed, and then found her now husband Fred Mason the love of her life.
Fred and Nina were both members of the American Legion Post 132. She had several positions within the American Legion Auxiliary and was very active. Nina had then been Madam President of the American Legion Auxiliary for the State of Utah, while Fred was Commander. Being so they were able to travel through not just the state of Utah, but Nation-wide. This by far was her favorite position to hold, due to it being very unknown. Even though she had a stroke, and broke her femur that never stopped her support for the American Legion.
Nina was preceded in death by her mother Mary Fletcher, sister Cathy Jorgenson, son-in-law Titiona Tuia. Survived by husband Fred Mason. Children Larry Michael (Tammy) Gunn, Robert (Bernita) Gunn, Debora (Titiona"Tito") Tuia, Mary (Mitch) Erkelens. 18 grandchildren, 27 great grandchildren.
