Nadine spent her early childhood in Utah with her Grandmother and later moved to many places

in her early life such as Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and eventually to Florida in 1984. Nadine

always had a deep passion of caring for others which led her to Nursing School in Amarillo,

Texas. Nadine was a Registered Nurse for 53 years and held a Nursing license in 3 states that

included Colorado, Texas, and Florida. In her early career she worked as a Nurse at Longmont

United Hospital and also helped open a Medical Clinic in Longmont Colorado. Nadine also

served as the President of the Nurses Association in Denver. After moving to Florida she

worked for the Brevard Health Department and retired from Nursing in 2004. She also

countlessly volunteered her time to the Red Cross for 70 years. Since 1984 she voluntarily

worked at hurricane shelters for every hurricane that affected Brevard County alongside her

husband Bill. She also helped survivors in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

Nadine spent her spare time working on many crafts such as plastic canvas, needlepoint,

crochet, and working on puzzles that were all usually given as gifts to friends, family, and even

strangers in need of joy. She also enjoyed being in the kitchen cooking for her family, but mostly

enjoyed baking and making candy for any special occasion or holiday. She was also an amateur

photographer as she always used a disposable camera to take snapshots of her children,

grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
