Nadine Florence Tunstall, 68, of Peterson, Minn., passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 15, 2016 surrounded by family at Mayo Clinic Health System – Franciscan Health Care, La Crosse, Wis.
Nadine was born on March 23, 1948 to Dorothy Blake and Glenn McKeown in Sandwich, Ill. She was raised in Grand Forks, N. Dak., where she also raised her two daughters, Vicki and Tina.
Later in life, Nadine moved to Peterson, Minn., where she enjoyed the friends and connections made throughout the community. Nadine loved working at the Peterson Station Museum and with the “minions” at Rushford Elementary School. Nadine’s last job as a Walmart greeter was perfect because she knew everybody who walked in and everyone walked away with a smile. She was an avid Packer fan, loved to read and learn about history, and never missed an episode of her favorite soap, General Hospital. She had an amazing sense of humor that carried on until the very end and will be missed by many.
Nadine is survived by her sister, Muriel Messer and family; daughters Vicki (Buck Buchholz) Taylor and Tina (Mike Seelbinder) McNamer, grandchildren: Robert (Kassie) Taylor, Jack Taylor, Joe Taylor, Kari (Matt) Olson, Brian Buchholz, Jessica (Andrew) Ziebell, and Amanda (Alex) Weilandt; great-grandchildren: Tori, Breyson, Baby Olson and Baby Weilandt; many cousins, nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, son-in-law Steve McNamer, many aunts and uncles, and her lifelong best friend, Doris Coleman.
A memorial service was held at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, December 22 at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Rushford, Minn., with coffee and desserts following.
