Nadine Emily Barger

Nadine Emily Barger ascended peacefully into the loving arms of the Lord December 16, 2021 at the age of 96. Heaven is surely a brighter place now having entered the pearly gates of Heaven to join her husband Stanley John; Mother and Father Mable Louise and David Dwight; and her siblings Thelma, Shirley, and Denton. She was a devout Christian and dedicated her life to serving the Lord. She played the organ and piano for her church Emmanuel Baptist in which she was actively involved for many years. Nadine had a heart of gold along with her bright, funny, loving, and selfless personality. She touched many lives and all who met her fell in love. Her talents were many to include: sewing, knitting, crocheting, painting, cake decorating, bowling, skiing, and horseback riding. Her passion, however, was quilting in which she won several ribbons and enjoyed up to her final days. Christmas was her favorite time of year and she remembered fondly receiving the first generation Shirley Temple doll as a child. Her prized doll remained displayed most of her adult years along with her second love Mickey Mouse. She was a Registered Nurse by profession and attended nursing school during WWII. She had planned to serve overseas upon graduation, but the war ended just prior. She is survived by her 4 children Stana, Russell, Matthew, and Melinda. In addition, her grandchildren: Joshua, Caleb, Aaron, Rachel, Sarah, Shannon, and Jody; and her great grandchildren Brianna, Brailyn, Brittaney, Ellie, Casey, Andrew, Autumn, Mackenzie, Iris and Aidyn and her great great grandchild Maria. She will be buried next to her husband at the Grand Army of the Republic cemetery in Snohomish, Washington.
