They raised their family on their Rush County farm where she was a hardworking farm wife and dedicated mother and grandmother. Her children describe her as a feisty, caring, practical mom who always put others first. She was a fabulous seamstress who sewed many prom and wedding dresses, as well as every day clothes and numerous angel and shepherd costumes for church plays. A devoted Christian and long-term member of the First Christian Church, LaCrosse, KS, Nadine fried many baskets of chicken for picnics, taught Sunday school, sang in the choir, and helped in any other way she could. She enjoyed ice cream, sewing, crocheting, and cooking for family gatherings.
