A Celebration of Life for Nita Beeler: A Cherished Jacksonville Resident and Ocean Enthusiast
Jacksonville, Florida – The city is preparing to honor the incredible life of Nita Beeler, a beloved resident and passionate ocean lover, during a heartfelt celebration of life this Saturday, June 28th. Nita’s journey began in Lake City, Florida, but it was in Jacksonville where she truly left her mark.
Soon after calling Jacksonville home, Nita ventured out to Los Angeles, California, where she made waves in the business world. Together with her son, James Beeler, they launched a successful contact lens business that showcased her entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to family. However, in 1982, she returned to Jacksonville, carrying with her a wealth of experiences and a well-nurtured business.
Her return saw the contact lens venture soar, reflecting Nita’s perseverance and skill. She was not just a businesswoman; she was an amazing and strong woman, loved by many for her warmth and unwavering spirit. Her love for family was evident through her close relationships with her loved ones—she shared laughs, stories, and lifelong lessons.
A True Ocean Enthusiast
Nita Beeler was not only dedicated to her family and business, but she also had a profound love for the ocean. With over 30 years of membership in the Northeast Florida Marlin Club, her passion for deep-sea fishing was unmatched. Nita wasn’t just another club member; she was a licensed captain certified for 100 tons, which allowed her to navigate the open waters with confidence and expertise.
From thrilling adventures far out at sea in search of large fish to sharing tales from her escapades, Nita embodied the spirit of the ocean. Her vibrant personality and zest for life made her a cherished figure in the fishing community. It was through these experiences she taught her family the importance of patience, both in fishing and life—a lesson that will resonate with them forever.
Family, Friends, and Golf
Surrounded by her loved ones, Nita made family gatherings warm and inviting. Her laughter and storytelling were contagious, creating an atmosphere of love that welcomed all. Nita’s black lab, Skylar, was also a beloved member of her family, adding to the joy of her daily life.
A Heartfelt Farewell
Sadly, Nita Beeler passed away with the same grace and strength she exhibited throughout her life. She is remembered as a wonderful wife, sister, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and aunt. Her generous spirit touched the lives of many, and her legacy lives on through the countless memories shared with her family and friends.
The community and family will gather at the Hardage-Giddens Oaklawn Legacy Lodge this Saturday at noon to celebrate her vibrant life. Instead of flowers, donations in her memory can be made to Community Hospice of NE FL, allowing her spirit to continue touching lives.
Nita Beeler will forever be remembered in the hearts of her loved ones, as they honor a life full of love, laughter, and adventures on land and sea. Her stories will live on through her family, inspiring patience and appreciation for life’s simple joys.
