Born and raised in South Philly, Nina worked for Universal Studios in Florida, her obituary says.
She was known for her love for the beach, her compassion, and her free-spirited soul that connected effortlessly with those around her.

Nina is the loving daughter of Colleen (fiancée Alex Nunez) Kenney and Richard (fiancée Geri Rowan) Valles, the maternal granddaughter of Thomas (late Barbara) "TK" Kenney, paternal granddaughter of Nicky Tubbens, sister of Alyssa (Dante Girini) Valles, Sabrina (Michael Vazquez) Valles, Ava Valles and Richard T. Valles, and caring aunt of Nicholas, Dante, and Goddaughter Harley Girini. She is also survived by many extended family members and close friends.
