Joyce Nadine Puetz, 81, passed away at her home in Powderly, Saturday, July 3, 2021. She went peacefully in her sleep.
Her memorial service will be held at Christ Community Church in Paris at 3:00 PM Sunday, July 11, 2021. Pastor Brad Aldridge will be officiating. Cremation is under the care of Fry-Gibbs Funeral Home.
Nadine, “Naygie,” was born on May 4, 1940, in Tolleson, Arizona to LeRoy and Fannie Chaffin. She married the love of her life, Rick, on October 18, 1965, and they shared 39 wonderful years of marriage. She has been a part of the Paris and Powderly Community for over 48 years where she was a waitress at Gringo’s and Sirloin Stockade for many of those years; she was also a caregiver and housekeeper to many Paris and Powderly residents, and she sang with her parents and sisters at nursing and community events. She was a volunteer member of the RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program), and she was a member of Powderly Church of God.
Nadine loved gardening and could get anything to grow in any kind of container (and she tried them all), but she loved colorful flowers the most. She was also a talented seamstress in which her kids and many of her grandkids proudly wore many handsewn outfits. She loved collecting dolls, gadgets, animals, and anything colorful, glittery or shiny. She loved being outside whenever possible, but her favorite was being surrounded by her family and friends at any gathering. She had a beautiful, infectious smile that set people at ease wherever she went.
Nadine was preceded in death by her husband, Frederic Puetz, her parents, her sons Wayne Turner and Ricky Puetz, two brothers in law, Curtis Johns and Butch Reavis, and her special Yorkie “Hogie.”
