Nadalee was a wonderful mother and grandmother who loved her grandchildren with all of her heart. She was a friend to many, and had an open door policy. She always welcomed everyone with open arms and made them feel loved and important.

Nadalee was a cherished member of the Wayne County community helping out by starting a preschool in her home until her children were of school age and then began working in the Wayne School District in 1988. Nadalee served in numerous positions and was the secretary of Wayne High School for many years. The kids that went to Wayne High School all knew and loved her, because she was “A mom” to all of them as well. She loved the kids and made sure they all felt loved and were taken care of.

She also helped make M&D Auto & Blackburn Recreation possible with her countless hours of work. She also helped Michael with lots of bees and honey.

Nadalee served in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in many positions and also in her recent years was a part of the Wayne County Senior Citizen Community, where she made many beloved friends.

She will always be remembered and never forgotten.
