Willadene was a devoted member of the Springdale Nazarene Church for over 65 years. Willadene lovingly taught Sunday School to 3 year old children for over 50 years. She loved her church but more importantly she loved God. She was a faithful follower of Christ and would daily spend time in devotions and prayer.

Willadene loved to garden and work in the yard. She loved growing vegetables and delighted working in her many flower beds around her house. She could easily be found outside during the warmer months weeding and tending all the plants and flowers. She also loved dogs and always had her dogs with her as she worked in the yard.

After retirement, Willadene took up scrapbooking. She loved to take pictures and organize them creatively in a scrapbook to not only keep family history but also express her love for her family, past and present. Willadene also loved to make cards for her family and friends. She found joy in creating personalized cards for those she loved.

Our mom was so kind, caring, gentle, sweet, fun and loving. Her family meant the world to her. When we were young, mom (and dad) would take us to our grandparents’ farm so that we could all spend time together as a family. Our mom loved family reunions and spending time with our extended family. Mom’s deviled eggs and chocolate buckeye candies were a favorite to all. We are going to miss our dear, sweet, and loving mom, but know she is having a celebration in heaven.

We will celebrate our parents’ lives on Monday, March 1st at Springdale Nazarene Church, which is located at 11177 Springfield Pike, Cincinnati, Ohio 45246. There will be a visitation from 10 -11 am at the church. The funeral service for our mom and memorial for our dad will begin at 11:15 am. The graveside service will be at the Hillsboro Cemetery in Hillsboro, Ohio at 2:00 pm. Pastor Marshall Duke (beloved friend) will officiate services for the family.

The State of Ohio REQUIRES face masks/coverings be worn and social distancing guidelines followed. Thank you in advance for taking care of one another as we celebrate the lives of Willadene and Bob.
