Hazel Nadine Lowder

HAZEL NADINE LOWDER, BORN HAZEL NADINE CREED TO FATHER ELGIE FRANKLIN CREED AND MAMIE ISABELL DARBY-CREED ON MARCH 8, 1935. “NADINE” WAS THE YOUNGEST OF FIVE CHILDREN, EDWIN, MAXINE, ARNOLD, HAROLD, AND NADINE. SHE GREW UP IN GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, AND LOVED SPENDING TIME RIDING AND TRAINING HORSES WITH HER DADDY. SHE ALSO RODE IN PARADES AND GYMKHANAS.

NADINE LOST HER MOTHER AT THE AGE OF TWELVE AND TWO YEARS LATER MARRIED BURLEY LEONARD LOWDER. THE COUPLE WERE MARRIED FOR SIXTY YEARS BEFORE HE PASSED AWAY. THEY RAISED THREE CHILDREN TOGETHER, ROBERT EUGENE, RICHARD ERNEST, AND BRENDA LEE. SHE TOOK GREAT PRIDE IN RAISING HER CHILDREN AND ASSISTING IN RAISING HER GRAND CHILDREN, RICKY, BRANDI, TAMELA, ROBERT JR., DANNY, ISRAEL, ASHLEY, AND CHRISTOPHER. WONDERFUL MEMORIES WERE MADE WITH EACH OF HER EIGHT GRAND CHILDREN ON VARIOUS SUMMER VACATIONS AND CAMPING TRIPS. NADINE IS SURVIVED BY HER DAUGHTER, BRENDA, EIGHT GRAND CHILDREN, EIGHTEEN GREAT GRAND CHILDREN, AND SIX GREAT GREAT GRAND CHILDREN.

NADINE DEEPLY LOVED HER FAMILY, AND NOW AS AN ADULT MYSELF, I REALIZE JUST HOW MUCH SHE SACRIFICED TO PROVIDE A GOOD LIFE FOR ALL OF US. SHE WORKED HARD ALL OF HER LIFE BUT HER GREATEST JOYS WERE GOD, FAMILY, HOME, HORSES, AND GARDENING.

REST IN THE ARMS OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR MOM. SING WITH THE ANGELS, AND REJOICE IN BEING REUNITED WITH YOUR FAMILY WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE YOU. YOU WILL BE IN OUR HEARTS, GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED!
