Nida Hines
February 19, 1975 ~ February 4, 2018
Marietta Southern Cremations & Funerals
Nida Modrigo Hines was born on February 19, 1975 in Manila, Philippines to Dominador and Lydia Felipe. She leaves behind to cherish her memories: her husband of 22 years John Hines, their 11-year-old son Tahir, her mother Lydia, sister Nancy and brothers Nelson and Noli.
Nida possessed and inner light and easy smile that blessed her with a diverse host of friends and acquaintances. Nida was a loving and dedicated daughter, wife, and mother, who always strove to put her family first. Some would say she was an “old soul” having a strength and resilience beyond her years.
Upon her arrival in America she sought work to help her family at home and abroad. She found her niche in retail where she worked as a Customer Service Supervisor for Walmart for over 10 years. During the final three years of her life she courageously fought a battle with cancer. She was finally given rest from her illness on February 4, 2018 at Halcyon Hospice in Atlanta Georgia.
A funeral service will be held at Southern Cremations and Funerals at Cheatham Hill. The address is 1861 Dallas Highway SW, Marietta, Georgia 30064. The funeral service will be held in the Columbarium at 10 a.m. on Saturday, February 10, 2018. Visitation will be held in the Columbarium from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, February 9, 2018. A private service will be held at a later date to lay her remains to rest.
In lieu of flowers the family has established an educational Memorial Fund in accordance with Nida’s wishes to ensure her son’s continued education. A link will be added shortly. Please refer back to this page where a link will be provided, at a future date.
Condolences may be left on the obituary tribute wall.

I think your so brave and a fine young man. I know your mom is proud of you. God bless you and your family.
Nida has been one of my good friends over the past twelve years. She was such a kind person that is giving and extremely genuine. She was always positive and had a great smile that was contagious. Despite the major challenges she went through, she always made time for other people and listened to what they were going through. She was one of a kind and will be missed by many.
Nida is a person who can give a warmth smile, loud laugh and a very generous heart on the first time we met. A friend who always keep in touch no matter which part of the world you are and talk like you are sitting next to each other. You see all the positive way in every circumstances that you encountered. Thank you for ten years of friendship, you will always be in your love ones heart forever.
Tahir, You are such a wonderful and smart young man. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers at this time. Sincerely, Ms. Woodall
I am saddened to know that the world has lost another sweet lady. I hate knowing that her last month and a half with us was one of such immense suffering. I am glad, however, to know that her suffering has ended. I pray for strength in the upcoming months and years for you John. From the other postings I have seen, she seems like such a wonderful person. I wish I would have had the opportunity to get to know her and am sad we had to meet under such sad circumstances. – Melinda Dunn
My Dear Sweet Nida, you are finally free to let your spirit soar again. My heart goes out to you John and Tahir.
Dear Nida,
I’m so glad that you were part of my life.
You were nice, caring, loving, companionate, humble, and a hard-worker.
You were always there to support your family, friends, and coworkers when needed.
You were a trooper in this fight against cancer, and i want to let you know that you are my hero. You fought gracefully until the end.
Our last conversation we had, you brought all these good memories and we laughed so much (the day we get together and ate Senegalese food with our hands; shopping at the mall; working at Sears trying to get sale and just giggling because we wanted to).
You will be missed, and you will always stay in my memories.
Love you always,
Seni O’Neill, your friend forever
Although my heart is broken, I’m so grateful that you we’re a part of my life.
Your smile and gracefulness will continue to amaze me each time I think of you.
I send my deepest and most heartfelt sympathies to her husband and son, whom she passionately referred to as her “boys
Love Always
Renee Hines

Dear Nida, thank you so much for being such a good friend over the years. I absolutely loved your humble personality and warm smile. You were always there to give a listening ear whenever I needed it. My thoughts are with your family during this time of sorrow. I will truly miss you my dear friend. Mome
Nida…what a beauty of a woman! I met her in 2016 at my son’s birthday party and all I could think of was how beautiful and sweet she was. When my mom died, she was the first person who called me as I was digesting the news. Over the past two years, I was a blessed woman to have met her and just talk, share and pray with her. She knew the best places to eat! She was a strong, wise, wonderful woman and friend and I will miss her much. God grant great comfort, peace and strength to her mom, siblings, husband, son and extended family.
It was the many, beautiful, twenty-two years of wonderful memories captured; and today, Nida is alive in my heart forever – bringing Life of peace, calm, resiliency, and to achieve one’s ambitions – as she has proven against all odds with her smile to encourage you to cross that finish line – never give up. May God continue to bring comfort and strength to Nida’s family, as Nida rest in the love of Christ with heavenly peace. Deeply missed with Love, Vasuthara
In the year of 2006 I met the most genuine and kind woman name Nida Hines, and we work both side by side with each other for 4 years. Nida you will be forever in my heart, but I know your in a better place.
