Nina Jo Best

Nina Jo Best, a woman whose laughter could light up a room and whose kindness warmed the hearts of all who knew her, fell asleep in death on January 12, 2024, in Tucson, Arizona. Born on August 3, 1956, in Austin, Minnesota. Nina graduated from Austin High School in 1974. On June 11, 1976, she embarked on a beautiful journey of love with Jon William Best, whom she married at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Austin. Throughout their 47 years together, they built their home of warmth and happiness, a testament to their enduring love and shared values.

Nina’s faith in Jehovah God guided her actions and filled her life with purpose and hope. She actively served as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, sharing that message of hope and love with all those she encountered. In addition Nina found great fulfillment in her professional life as a Hearing Specialist at High Tech Hearing working alongside her younger sister Amy. Her commitment to helping others hear the world around them mirrored the care she poured into every endeavor.

Nina’s passions extended far beyond work and ministry. She enjoyed creative pursuits. Photography brought her the joy of capturing life’s precious moments, while poetry allowed her to express the depths of her emotions. Her artistic expressions were a reflection of her vibrant personality, always finding beauty and meaning in the world around her.

In the hearts of her loved ones, Nina will be remembered for the warmth of her smile and the infectious laughter that left a lasting impression on their lives. Her sense of humor was a ray of sunshine. Nina had a gift for reaching out at just the right moment, offering an ear to listen, a hand to hold, and words of compassion that soothed others. Her strong faith was important to her and guided her daily, moving her to touch countless lives with her gentle and selfless nature.

Nina’s family, her cherished husband Jon, daughter Angela (Wyatt) Chambers, son Joseph (Ricisa) Best, and sisters Judy Brewer, Lori (John) Snook, and Amy Baarsch, beloved grandchildren Ryder and Finley Chambers, along with nieces and nephews mourn her passing but find comfort in the memories that shine brightly like her infectious smile.

Her family looks to her as a fine example of faith and love to imitate.
