Nadine M. Dyer, 89, of Buckhannon, passed away with her loving children by her side on Saturday, July 31, 2021, at the United Hospital Center in Bridgeport.
She was born in Upshur County on April 9, 1932, a daughter of the late Leman Post and Nellie M. (Thrash) Post.
On June 26, 1951, Nadine married Elmer Woodford Dyer who preceded her in death on November 10, 2001.
In addition to her parents and husband, Nadine was preceded in death by seven siblings: Howard C. Post, Emma G. Rogers, Kermit T. Post, Hayward L. “Johnny” Post, M. Maxine Marple, John W. Post, and Nathaniel Jackson “Jack” Post; sixteen cousins; two Post-family nephews; and one Post niece.
Nadine is survived by one son, Erin P. (Post) Dyer of Buckhannon; one daughter, Nelda Jo Dyer-Galarneau and husband, Peter, of Buckhannon; one cousin; seventeen Post nieces and nephews; and four Dyer-family nieces and nephews.
Nadine graduated from Roosevelt Wilson High School in Clarksburg in 1950. She supported her husband in his several coal-mining operations and was a shareholder and officer, along with her husband, of Endco Trucking Inc., a transporter of heavy machinery, coal, and other commodities. Nadine was also involved in the promotion and operation of Elkins Motor Speedway in the 1960s and 1990s.
Nadine was Methodist by faith. She was musically inclined and enjoyed listening to classic country music, dancing, and playing musical instruments. Nadine also enjoyed cooking for her family, playing bingo, sketching and drawing, writing poems and rhymes, vegetable and flower gardening, and she was a talented seamstress. She had a great sense of humor and had a smile that could light up a room.
Nadine especially loved spending time with her children, family and friends. She will be missed dearly by all who knew her.
In keeping with her wishes, Nadine has been cremated. At this time, no services will be held. The family is considering a Celebration of Life at a later date.
We, at Clutter Funeral and Cremation located at 21 Elnora Circle in Buckhannon, are honored and privileged to serve the family of Nadine M. Dyer. Online memories and condolences may be expressed at www.ClutterFuneralHome.com.
