Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. My sincere condolences on your loss. I did not personally know Nadine Rudeen but I did work with Kenneth for many years.

  2. Kendra you will be in my prayers as you navigate this difficult time. I pray that God will provide you with peace, comfort and strength.

  3. It’s the end of an era to say goodbye to Miss Nadine. She was a lovely neighbor; always very pleasant and willing to chat. I used to love that she and her next-door-neighbor Ray would attend our parties and dinners as a duo. After he died, we were talking, and she told me that they had a book exchange between the two of them and they would share books back-and-forth for entertainment. I remember years back, she would go to the mall on a regular basis to walk with her walking group. She remained as active as she could, and I always found it quite impressive she managed to live on her own into her 90s. Miss Nadine will be missed. Keith and I extend our sincere condolences.

  4. Kendra, I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember the good times I had at your family’s home on holidays. Nadine was spunky and full of life and I always love her for that. If you need anything during these difficult times please don’t hesitate to ask.
