Nadine Joy Docherty

Hi Mom,
I imagine you’re in line to see Elvis with some of your favorite people people up there. Jim hopes the line is long and up hill. I know you are now free from pain and suffering. I wish we had more time together, I miss you so very much. I hear your voice comforting me, I will be okay, we will carry you with us in our hearts always.
Thank you for being my precious mom, protecting me and loving me. You gave me a great life that I cherish each day. I will never forget how supportive you are with me, always encouraging me to go for it. I will always appreciate your beauty, smile, humor and free bird way of living.
Your sweet spirit will live on in me and your grandchildren always.
I Love you deeply in my veins and honor you with my hula dancing. I know your watching. May God, Peace, Mercy and Grace continue to be with us.

Love always and forever more.
Sumer Joy

When Summer called to let me know the sad news, I immediately started remembering all the good times. Times going back to when I was a young kid. You were an amazing woman, and will be truly missed. May your health be clear & strong….much love ❤️

Nadine loved to laugh. She adopted our mom as her own and this blessed our mom greatly. Now they are together. I enjoyed visiting with her. She tried always to be positive though she suffered many physical challenges. What an inspiration.

I’ll never forget gorgeous smile and laughter! Always good parties at the cabin! Haven’t seen Sumer since she was around 7yr, still as beautiful as her Mom. Sorry for your loss. RIP Nadine.

Ohhhhh Nadine , did we have some fun together. My favorite was always “ don’t tell Jimmy “ Lol. Nothing but a beautiful girl on the inside and out. You’d give the shirt off your back to make someone smile. Speaking of smiles, you had the BEST. When you walked into a room you glowed and everyone watched you and wanted to be your friend, and to have you as a friend? We were so lucky. I love you sweet sister, may you RIP and watch over us.I know I will see you again. ❤️

Beautiful pictures so sorry for your loss . I know where you got your bright smile from. We miss you at hula 💞

You will be missed my friend! You always made me smile and made me feel special and good about myself. Your smiles and laughter I will never forget! We went through alot over the years and I am proud to say you were one of my longest and best friends ever! Good bye old friend….

To my Mother-In-Law, Nadine,

With deep gratitude, with deep honor, I thank you for bringing Sumer Joy into this World, so I could engage her in marriage, and contribute that ‘little bit’ that led to your two extraordinary grandchildren, Avalon and Jasmine. 🤭

You can rest assured that your intent in naming your daughter, Sumer Joy, has in fact, played out as you intended: she has provided not only our family, but countless other souls with indelible beams of Joy, bathed in the Light. 💃👸🧜‍♀️

This gift is also apparent in the personalities of our children. Both are sensitive, kind, and deeply considerate of others. Jasmine shares your and Sumer’s natural talent for color, form, and fashion. Avalon shares the deeper introspective side of you which lived in the shadow of your radiant smile. 😇

It has been quite an adventure to see your life and relationships unfold, and to witness the grace with which you transitioned. I truly respect and honor the hurdles you crossed in a single lifespan, and the healings you brought to your authentic lineage.

While the drama of a lifetime often involves both tragedy and comedy, 🎭 you had the magic to transform drama into beauty … in your smile, your handwritten notes, your wit-full humor, and your engaging generosity.

In the face of pain and suffering, you laughed and made us laugh. You demonstrated poise and were an ambassador of beauty and celebration to us.

I clearly recall your admiration of Jim’s architectural masterpieces, and how obviously he was mirroring your deep recognition and appreciation of natural form and beauty. ⛲️

This mirroring and bringing forth beauty’s appreciation in others, I witnessed many times. Like the time at a family outing to a local restaurant, a dining guest commented on the beauty of your earrings; and, without any hesitation you took them off, let them admire them upclose, then gifted them to the admirer.

Yes, Nadine, you are the penultimate Muse of artistic expression and appreciation of beauty. 🙌

And in my times both Light and Dark, especially Dark, this inspires in me great solace, Faith, and Charity.

Go now, Nadine, and rest peacefully for a life well-lived 🕊. And I will watch for you in the golden rising sun 🌅, in dragonflies 🧚‍♀️, and in fields of tulips 🌼🌼🌻🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷🌸🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌻🌼🌼

Nadine ~ with your beautiful smile, amazing style, incredible laugh and love of life! You radiated joy and life wherever you went, putting your heart into those you loved and all you did. Your deep love for my brother Jim and the cats and dogs in our life connected us in a very special way. I so miss your presence sister Nadine, but know along life’s journey we will be seeing each other again. You are now at peace, and with Mom! Psalm 23
Love always ~ Jane & Seth too!
