CHOQUETTE Nina Christine (nee Brown Murphy)

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Nina Choquette, a loving mother, wife, grandmother, sister, aunt and devoted friend to all whose lives she touched, on February 1st, 2020, age 78 years. Nina Choquette (Brown Murphy) was originally from Tacks Beach, Placentia Bay, daughter of Sam Brown and Maud Warren. Nina is predeceased by her brother Gordon Brown; sisterin-law Mary Brown; daughter-inlaw Valerie Martin; and mother-inlaw, Agnes Murphy. Nina is survived by her husband, Steve (Yves) Choquette - her travelling partner, her walking buddy, and her best friend. They shared a beautiful 34 years of marriage together. Leaving to mourn her children: Lynn Ann Hollett (Tom), Tony Murphy, Gail Murphy Taylor (Roxanne Snow), Wendy Howlett (Kevin), Jackie Stanley (Robert). Nina also leaves to mourn her grandchildren: Joshua (Kirsten), Wendy Kane, Tara (Chad), Lindsay (Shane), Gillian (Adam), Lee (Maude), Jeffrey (Allison), Samantha (Ryan), Matthew (Madison) and Jesse; great-grandchildren: Hailey, Ember, Emma, Chloe, Adelyn, and Logan; her brother Fred Brown (Corner Brook); her sister Mary Butler George (British Columbia); special family friend Ronnie Bidgood; step-sons: Danny and Michael; step-daughter, Della; as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends who loved her dearly and will hold her precious in their memory. If you knew her well, you’d know Nina loved to sing, dance and she truly adored Elvis Presley. She also enjoyed spending time playing cards with her buddies over the years, gardening, and sewing.
