It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and sister, Nadine C. Hardy Black, 79. She passed away in her home, surrounded by her family, on Thursday, April 15, 2010. She was born October 1, 1930 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Arthur and Erma Hardy. A graduate of East High School, she married her grade school sweetheart, Don R. Black, on September 14, 1951, who was on military leave from the Air Force. They lived in Oklahoma while Don completed his military service and then returned to their home in Salk Lake City to begin their family. Nadine’s life was full of activities, including many successful years selling cosmetics. She enjoyed traveling with her husband; golfing and bowling with her many friends; and supporting and spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren in all their many activities from sports to concerts to pageants. She frequently enjoyed going to lunch with her childhood friends, who called themselves “The 8th East Ladies”. She was a sweet lady and never had a bad thing to say to anyone. She knew and always showed the full meaning of unconditional love. She will be remembered for her sweet flair for humor and warm smile. She will be truly missed by all those who knew her. Nadine is survived by her husband, Don R. Black; two children, Deniece Yancey and Darwin Black; four grandchildren, Justin Yancey, Jeremy & Andrea Yancey, Allison & Jeremy Cook, and Jessica & Tyson Whitehead; two great grandchildren, Savannah Cook and Atlas Whitehead; Sister, Joyce Jones; and Sisters-in-Law, Grace McNiel and LaReta Gillman.
