Nadean was active as leader of her sons’ 4-H club, where she encouraged members to prepare and practice their presentations for 4-H events which resulted in many ribbons. She was a good neighbor who enjoyed cooking meals with other farmwives for the neighbor men when they worked together. In her later years, Nadean took business courses and worked at J.C. Penny’s in Denison. She was active in Parents without Partners, took bus tours with friends, and enjoyed visiting her sons and grandchildren in Kansas City.
