Nadine Ruth Spaugh, 92, of North Platte, Nebraska, passed away on
Thursday, January 3, 2019, at Linden Court in North Platte.

Nadine was born August 9, 1926, at Upland, Nebraska, the only child to
Nels and Ruth Ibsen.  She lived at Upland until 1942 when she moved to
Colorado Springs, Colorado with her parents. She graduated from Colorado
Springs Bible Training School in 1944.

On August 5, 1945, Nadine married David Spaugh at Frankfort, Indiana.
They moved to Texas then Oklahoma and later back to Colorado Springs
where her husband attended college.  After David graduated they traveled
in song evangelism work for a year until moving to North Platte in 1952,
which became home until her passing.

Nadine and David were blessed with two children, Ruthie and Glen, who
were both born in North Platte, and 71 years of marriage.  Nadine worked
at Sears in the catalog department for several years before going to
work for Hallmark.

At a very young age, she gave her life to the Lord.  She followed in her
parents footsteps as a dedicated “prayer warrior”.  Nadine was active in
the Wesleyan Church including youth and children’s work, was a Sunday
School teacher and church organist until her health began to fail.  In
later years she attended Parkview Church of the Nazarene.

Nadine loved and cared for her family, each one was special. She enjoyed
traveling and often talked about what a joy it was to see the different
parts of the country.  Her hobbies included collecting salt and pepper
shakers and gardening.  She also enjoyed cooking for her family,
especially at Christmas time with a vast assortment of cookies and
candies.  Nadine was very devoted to faith and family.  Her
encouragement and selflessness will be long remembered and she will be
greatly missed.
