Nita was born on June 17, 1948, in Waco, Texas. She was a proud 1965 graduate of Permian High School in Odessa, Texas. She continued her education at Baylor University, earning a bachelor's degree in business, and later obtained a master's degree in physical education with a concentration in dance from Sam Houston State University. Nita cherished her family and friends deeply. She was especially proud of her heritage, notably her parents, Dick and Bettie Clark, who were successful entrepreneurs in the food service industry, owning several restaurants across Central Texas, Levelland, and Odessa.
The highlight of Nita's life was raising her two children, Jim and Jennifer, with her husband, Robert, with whom she shared 53 years of marriage. She felt blessed to be a grandmother to her eight grandchildren.
Nita was talented in many areas, including dance, music, and creating beautiful knitted items and quilts. She made numerous quilts for her family, friends, and charities. An active member of the Waco Homespun Quilter's Guild, Nita served as its President from 2020 to 2021. She also enjoyed taking piano lessons.
