Nadine Mooney Obituary

July 2025, we remember still Nadine always.

We will always remember Nadine and miss her still, 2024. Hope she is able to look down and see all that has changed over time. We say your name along with so many.

I smiled when I received the reminder of Nadine this morning in my e-mail. But that is no surprise, because every time I remember her, I smile. And as I smile, I remember her smile, glowing so beautifully. When she sat on the steps in the back of her home next door with her girls, when she would walk by our house, when she would get out of her car; she seemed to always be smiling. Even in the last year or more when she was wheeled by our house or lifted and carried out of her car, or when we visited her bedside. No matter; she seemed to always have that beautiful smile. I know for the family it wasn't always smiles... but what a gift to friends and family alike was her radiant happiness despite her circumstances. It is a gift she gave to me that I will always remember and treasure.

I was lucky enough to teach at Queen of All Saints with Nadine. She was a wonderful role model as a teacher and as a person. My deepest sympathies are with your family.

Amy, Emily and Melissa,

When I heard of Nadine's passing, my heart broke. I am so sorry for your loss. Nadine was an absolute angel. I feel blessed to have known her. Our prayers and deepest sympathies go out to you.
All our love,
Chris, Lisa & Aaron Gonzales

I knew the Schmutz family from St. Wenceslaus era. (grade school) Mrs. Schmutz, Larry and Nadine were always the most friendly of families. I will pass on the information of Nadine's passing to my brother, Bill, who now resides in New Mexico, who was a friend of Larry's. I was surprised to hear of Nadine's death, but am not surprised by the warm wishes to her family. She was truely one of a kind... even back in the 60's! God bless you all!

We were blessed to have had Nadine teach and tutor three of our children at Queen's. We are very sorry to hear about your loss. She has been in our thoughts and prayers over the years and we will continue to do so for her and your family

My deepest condolences to the entire family. Your mom was one of a kind and I will never forget her calling me Zocha every time I was over. You are in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time --I am thankful that I had the opportunity to meet her, and walk with your family to support research for ALS.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Nadine's family and her extended family of caregivers. She fought the good fight and will always be remembered for her courage and simplicity in accepting what was given to her in life to bear.
She is your own special angel and will be looking after you from her new life with the Almighty.

My deepest sympathy to your family. I was a teacher with Nadine at Queen of all saints. I have to say I am lucky to have had her as a friend.

Mellissa, Emilly & Billy,

No words can express the sorrow that the passing of your mother has brought to the St. Hilary family.

Nadine was such an inspiration to all who were involved with Scouting at St. Hilary's. She helped me get involved and I will never forget the camping trips, arts and crafts, and how she worked so hard on all the bridging and scout activities. Nadine gave so freely of her time and energy. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

With a heavy but grateful heart, I attempt to find a few words to share to honor this wonderful woman I knew only a little. Nadine was my next-door neighbor... and though she was not my teacher, she was indeed a teacher for me.

By the beautiful and simple way she lived, she taught me how to make any day a wonderful day; simply by smiling and declaring it so. Nothing -- including her declining health and physical abilities -- could prevent her from spreading her joyful outlook on life. That joie de vivre and her twinkling eyes are gifts that have changed me forever.

To say she will be missed is to understate the obvious -- as is to say that we are all the better for having known her. Would that each of us could carry a small bit of her beautiful spirit with us in all our dealings, our world would be a sweeter place.

Rest in peace, sweet Nadine. Thanks for everything.

with Love,
David

Nadine's presence was a gift. We were new teachers together many years ago. There was an instant connection as friends between us and we remained such since. Our families became each others' families.
Nadine will be dearly missed. Our grieving hearts are comforted by having loved and having been loved by Nadine. Her family has been given a wonderful legacy by her enthusiasm for life. She will always be in our hearts.
Love,
Claire, Tom, Paul, Danielle, Mary Claire & Joseph

The neighborhood became blessed when the Mooney's moved in. Nadine always had a smile to share along with the sweet twinkle in her eyes. Everyone laughed when she was near. Her spirit will always grace Virginia Ave. And we will all be comforted by that.
My prayers are with you all.

Nadine was a wonderful friend who was always so positive and had such a good spirit. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her and although I didn't see her as much as I would have liked to, I will miss her very much. Our prayers are with all her family.

Dear Amy, I'm so sorry for your loss.My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family.

We are so sorry for your loss. Nadine was a wonderful teacher to our 2 children at Queen of All Saints. She was a kind, thoughtful and caring person. Our family will remember her and your family in our prayers

Dear Mrs. Schmutz and Family, My Sincere heartfelt condolences on your loss of Nadine. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

All my thoughts, prayers, and love to Missy, Emmy, and the whole Mooney family.

Your mom was so sweet and outwardly positive, she is a role model to all of us. If we could each take an ounce of her determination and attitude, the world will be a better place, and the light of her flame will never die.

With sympathy and love,

Amy, my deepest sympathies to you
and Nadine's family. I know what it is
to lose a daughter. Pam died 7 years
ago from a brain aneurysm at the age of 45. I will keep you in my prayers.

The quiet whisp of angels in flight came in the night. Nadine suffered greatly, and more than we can ever know. Now she got her angel's wings and is gathering in heaven to continue her teaching, which was why she was called. The young needed her here, but God needed her more. She was loved greatly and will be missed greatly by many. All of our thoughts and prayers go to all whom she left behind with saddened hearts. The void she left behind will take a long time to heal. Thinking of you all at this saddened time.

I'm sorry for your loss. You are all in our prayers. God Bless.
