Nadine Kampfe Pollard

Nadine was born on April 21, 1953 in Roswell, NM to the late Paul and Elinor (Schmidt) Kampfe. She passed away June 15th, 2022 in Denver, CO. Nadine graduated from Chadron Senior High School, NE and received her bachelor's degree in music education from Chadron State College, NE. She was married to Randy Pollard from 1974-1983, with whom she had two children, Brandon and Ryan. Nadine worked as a school music teacher for several years in Nebraska. Upon moving to Colorado in 1984, she lived and worked in the north metro area with the staffing agencies Office Placement Services and Corestaff Services. She spent the last five years of her life as a paraeducator in Westminster Public Schools. For over 35 years, Nadine taught piano and voice lessons to hundreds of young students in the Denver area and was an active member of Highland Baptist Church. She was an integral member of the church’s worship team, playing piano and singing for many years.

Nadine enjoyed watching her sons’ sporting events from kindergarten through college, biking the paths in and around her home in Westminster, birthday celebrations and family dinners (always with dessert, of course!), BBQs in the summer, and all the time she could get with her grandchildren. She lived frugally and simply, keeping the cleanest of houses and taking pride in her beautiful yard and the soft green lawn her family ran and rolled and laughed in.

Nadine is survived by her sons Brandon Pollard and Ryan (Erin) Pollard; siblings Paula Encinas, Ron Kampfe and Robert Kampfe; and granddaughters Esme, Mikayla, Cate and Sienna. Nadine was preceded in death by her parents Paul and Elinor Kampfe.

Memorial service will be held at 10am Thr 6/30 at Highland Baptist Church (9185 N Utica St, Westminster, CO, 80031). A lunch celebration will follow the service.
