Her grandchildren remember and loved her hot dogs and smores at Sweetwater Lake. She loved entertaining guests and family.  She often had guests for Sunday dinner.  Her lovely home was always open to guest preachers and missionaries from foreign lands.

Nadine and her family were faithful loved members of the 4th and Elm Church of Christ in Sweetwater for many years. Nadine was also a member at the Pleasanton Church of Christ for 14 years.
