I worked with Nadeen when I was at Harmony River. My niece loved to visit her and help her when she played BINGO. Nadeen made everyone happy and always had a smile on her face. She will be missed dearly.

I use to work with Nadeen at Averon and ATHC she was a true blessing! Nadeen would always love her smiles and she really loved to work. Nadeen was one of the people who made coming to work everyday a joy. She will be very missed but I am glad she is some where she can keep smiling everyday now.

I was fortunate to have known Nadeen for the many of the years she worked at ATHC. She was proud of her accomplishments and showed encouragement and compassion to others. She always sparked a smile in others and her contagious laugh made your day. She will be missed and in our thoughts. To her family…please know she always expressed pride and love when she shared stories about all of you.

Sorry for your loss. Unfortunately I did not know Nadeen very well. I do remember way back when our families would get together that Nadeen would sit by Wanda & I to talk or when we ate. It was nice to have read through the comments about Nadeen and her life.
