Nadine will be remembered for her strong, independent and loving personality. She was a very faithful and God loving woman. She was baptized in 2015 where she gave herself to the Lord.

She was a loving,caring and supportive mother. She was my sounding board and best friend.

Her strong, independent personality led her to hold some very prestigious job titles. She was the Director of Utilization review for the State of Texas Health Department over the geriatric division. She held this position for over 15 years. Then in 1986 she journeyed to Austin,Texas to be the Executive Director of the Texas Cancer Council.

In her spare time she loved crafts and making things to sell at her little thrift store that she had for seven years.
