Laura Nadine Smith, lovingly known as "Honey", Mom, Nana and Nana Montana, went to be with her Lord and Savior. She passed suddenly in San Luis Obispo on Sunday, April 18, 2010. She most recently lived in Templeton, but had another residence in Lindsay California. Born and raised in Fort Scott Kansas, Nadine's family relocated to Orange County California during the Depression. There, at the age of 14, she met her first and only love, Raymond Smith. Just shy of graduating from high school, she and Ray eloped in Arizona. Their marriage and love for each was a legacy. Many friends and family members use their marriage as a model for their own. They would have celebrated their 68th anniversary Saturday, April 24, 2010. Her greatest joy was taking care of her husband and children. She was self-educated, always trying to increase her knowledge and learn new things. Most recently she was learning to use the computer on her new laptop. She was a vorocious reader and could keep up with anybody on any subject. She knew more about politics than most politicians....she always knew her facts. Her greatest gift was the capacity to make anyone entering her home feel loved and welcome. Outside the home, she loved traveling, watching her grandkids' and great-grandkids' sporting events, Like her dad, she loved to tell a joke and had an amazing sense of humor. Billy Graham, Barbara Bush and her mom were among her favorite heroes. Nadine had many life-long friends whom they still loved to visit and travel with. Nadine was preceded in death by her father, Tom, her mother, Katie, and brother, Dale. Her father built their church in Rainbow Valley, California and her brother was a pastor in Escondido, California. She leaves her four children Sharon (John) Ferguson of Fillmore, California; Brent (Linda) Smith of Arroyo Grande; Denise (Steve) Weeks of Templeton, California and Lori (Greg) Nunez of Fillmore, California. She was so very proud of her 11 grandkids, Craig (Laura) Ferguson, Staci (John) Rolff, Robert (Jen) Weeks, Ryan (Tara) Weeks, Ashlee (Garrett) Loughran, Brett Weeks, Danny (April Kozar) Nunez, Lindsay (Dave Behling) Nunez, Brock Nunez, Ian and Kimmy Smith.
