Nina Rose Bhe (Autry), 81, of Fayetteville, North Carolina passed away on March 6, 2025, in Rolesville, North Carolina. Born on August 27, 1943, in Fayetteville she lived a full and vibrant life filled with family, laughter, and the simple joys of her favorite pastimes.
Nina was a woman who found happiness in the little things—whether it was the thrill of a good game of B-I-N-G-O, the excitement of video poker, or the quiet satisfaction of solving a puzzle. She had a love of reading that transported her to different worlds. Solitaire was a favorite way to pass the time, and she enjoyed the competitiveness of bowling and softball. Her spirit and love for games made her a joy to be around, as long she was winning. She always had a strong passion for spending time at the beach which upon retirement, she and Wayne relocated there!
In her later years, she was known for her signature phrase: "Bring me a diet coke?"—a simple request that became a part of who she was.
Nina was deeply devoted to her family. She is survived by her sons Jeff Bhe of Arizona and Tony Bhe of North Carolina; daughters-in-law Nancy Bhe and Abbey Bhe; grandchildren Tyler Bhe, Eric Bhe, Maggie Bhe, Zahra Zelliche, Maya Zelliche, and Adam Zelliche; sister Norma Autry Stackley; and brother Fred Autry. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Wayne Bhe; sisters Rachel Byrum and Hilda McGill; and brothers Albert Autry and Leonard Autry.
A funeral service will be held on March 11, 2025, at Salem Methodist Church, located at 2165 Middle Road in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The service will begin at 1:00 PM as family and friends gather to honor Nina’s life.
Nina’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew her. May her love for life continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to share in it.
