My sincerest condolences to Nadine's family, friends, and former students. May you rest in peaceful slumber, Nadine.

One of the best teachers I ever had. I wouldn’t be the nurse I am today without her. I hope she knew how many lives she changed and transformed in her time as a teacher.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I was blessed to work with Nadine for many years as her principal at Vinton Elementary and then later at Amelia Earhart Elementary. Her dedication and talent were simply amazing! Students who were lucky enough to have her as their teacher were blessed with endless opportunities and experiences including classroom simulations in government and civics, hands on science and artistic adventures. Nadine had an uncanny ability to make learning exciting and fun. She was awarded many times for her outstanding teaching, and she will always be the ‘teacher of the year’ to me!
