Many nieces and nephews who loved being at her house when visiting. She loved her close friends Moeita, Vonnie, and Sharon. They had so much fun together.

Nadene was good at whatever she tried. She was a great seamstress, an amazing bowler for over 50 years, she loved to play golf with her family, a skier, a very good ranch hand from gathering cows, branding to bailing hay and delivering wood pellets to working in her house and yard. 

She worked alongside her husband in their tracking business as best friend and faithful side kick in their many different adventures. Words cannot express the hole she has left in the lives of her family and friends. She was an amazing woman.
