Nadine will be remembered by her heart of gold; she was such a giving and loving person who would do anything for anybody. She was truly a “people person,” and to know her was to love her. Nadine enjoyed crocheting and spending time with her family. Above all else, she treasured the special moments with her beloved grandchildren as they were her pride and joy.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husbands, Leland Hecker, Sr., and Cliff Ennis; son, Larry Hecker; son-in-law, Dennis Pearson; her grandsons, David Hecker and Ben Shelton; and her siblings, June Case, Bob Case, Jim Case, Freddie Case, Don Case, Elizabeth “Betty” Vlademar, Eleanor “Cookie” Johnson, and Ann Emigh.
