The suffering is finally over. She will be sadly, but lovingly, missed by her family and numerous friends. She will be remembered as a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend.

She studied piano and won first place in saxophone solo competition at the Moose jaw International Band Festival. She attended Teacher’s College in Regina where she played in the college dance band and where she met the love of her life, Bob. After marrying Bob in 1962, a life of adventure and service ensued. Throughout their married life Nadia and Bob lived in various communities including Regina, Yellowknife, Vermilion, Cardston, Del Bonita and finally, for the past 41 years, Lethbridge.

All that aside, she will be remembered as a fun-loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend who loved to blow bubbles, always putting the needs of others ahead of her own.
