Nadine passed away September 15, 2017 after a brief illness. She was born July 14, 1928 in her Towry Grandparents home about 3 miles west of Delhi, Oklahoma to Gladnie Mamie Towry Ellison and Matthew Allen Ellison. 

She enjoyed playing basketball for the Delhi girls basketball team.  After moving to Lawton in the early 1950’s she went to cosmetology school.  This allowed her to practice her profession and still be a stay at home mother and military wife.
