She enjoyed golf, biking, camping, and co-piloting small airplanes with her husband to visit out of state friends and relatives.
She is survived by her daughters Nannette Stone and Dayna Smart, and by Curtis Wisely, her "like a son" nephew. Online condolences may be expressed to Nadine's family by visiting her obituary at www.esterdahl.com.
