Mrs. Loomis was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, daughter and protector who leaves behind cherished memories and a legacy of love. Her protective nature enveloped those she held dear, creating a haven of warmth and safety. She selflessly cared for her parents until their final days. Strong and beautiful, she embodied resilience. Her children, Shayla and Cory, were her pride and joy, and there were no limits to what she would do for them. She reveled in being “Gram” to her boys, Blaine and Brandt. Her nurturing spirit knew no bounds, and their home became a sanctuary of love and so much laughter. Nyla’s life blossomed like the flowers she tended in her beloved garden, and her nurturing spirit extended beyond the soil, as she fiercely loved her family. Family gatherings were her delight. Whether sharing meals, laughter or stories, she relished every moment spent with her loved ones. Her eyes sparkled as she watched her grandsons play sports, cheering them on with unwavering pride. Everything tasted better at Nyla’s house. From her famous sweet tea to her monkey bread on Christmas morning, she turned ordinary meals into cherished memories. As she reunites with her parents in eternity, we honor Nyla’s legacy – a legacy of strength, beauty, and unwavering devotion. May her memory continue to bloom in our hearts, just like the flowers she lovingly tended. Rest in peace, dear Nyla. You were so loved.
