Helen Nadine Malone, age 82, passed away Monday, Jan. 25, 2016. Visitation will be Thursday, Jan. 28, 2016, at First Baptist Church of Tuscumbia from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. with service to follow at 1 p.m. Brother Barrett Long will be officiating. Burial will be in Colbert Memorial Gardens.
Nadine was preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Jewell Teets, and brothers, Wilford Teets and Loren Dale Teets.
Nadine is survived by her dearly loved husband of 65 years, Chesley Malone; son, Tony Malone (Sharon); daughters, Cheslene Walker (Don) and Jeannie Cochran (Russ); brother, Raymond Teets; and sister, Pauletta Beck. She had eight grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren with another on the way.
Known area-wide as a great cook, Nadine cooked Wednesday night suppers at her beloved church for over 30 years. She made many a wedding day more memorable for the bride and groom with her stunning and delicious cakes and reception fare. Anyone lucky enough to taste her cinnamon rolls can attest to her skill in the kitchen.
Nadine was also a published author with two cookbooks to her credit.
This wonderful, dear lady will be missed every day by her husband, her family, the wacky “Whoop-em-up Bunch”, and everyone who knew her. Knowing that she is at home in Heaven with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be a great comfort to us all.
The family would like to thank Dr. Andre’ Taylor for his many years of taking such wonderful, compassionate care of our mom/grandmother, and Letitia for her sweet spirit and loving patience.
