To all of Nadine's family, including her grandchildren and great-grandchildren:

Nadine was one of the kindest-hearted and most unselfish people I have known. She was truly dedicated to her family which led her to generously give to her church and community as well.
When I got to know Nadine was when we served in Presbyterian Women of Lake Huron Presbytery together. She was also being a good friend and looking out for Linda Hamilton, her long-time neighbor. We three had some great times traveling to PW meetings and "national gatherings". Nadine knew how to be a true friend and she was one of the best.
Our sympathy and prayers go out to Nadine's family. I rejoice she's in heaven, but join you in missing her.

John, so sorry for your loss. Gerry and I didn't know Nadine had been ill and were shocked to hear of her passing. Nadine was always the first one to make me feel welcome at scouting functions and that meant a lot to me. She was a very kind and generous person always thinking of others.
She will be missed. You and your family are in my and Gerry's thoughts and prayers.

Nadine was a great woman. She exemplifies what it is to be a woman of faith. She was devoted to her family and the much larger scouting family and for that we must be forever greatful. John and family, I am so sorry for your loss but emphatically state you were so fortunate to have this woman in your lives. If there is anything Troop 215 can do for you now and in the future, ask us and we will help.
