Nadine's obituary
Nadine was a fiercely strong, outspoken, caring, independent mother who would always caught everyone off guard with her unfiltered straight talk. Nadine raised her 3 daughters Shannon Francia, Shawn Knap and Traci Mae Valenti to go out in the world and accomplish great things. The hole left by her absence is impossible to fill.
Nadine was passionate about making people smile and helping people out. When she wasn't providing smiles and jokes, she could be found playing with her grandchildren, digging in her garden, enjoying a game of bingo, watching her favorite show Law and Order, playing games on her phone or loving on her dog Peanut.
Nadine joins her mother Eula Mae Gallego, her father Norberto Gallego, her brothers Tracy and Norberto Gallego in Heaven.
She is survived by Joseph Valenti, her 3 daughters, Shannon, Shawn , and Traci Mae . Her 7 grandchildren Colin, Jacob, Chase, Skylar, Devin, Jenna and Taylor.
Her sisters and brothers: Joyce, Val, Jack, Tammy and Mike. Tons of loving nieces,
nephews ,aunts, uncles and cousins.
Her 3 son in laws Ron, Mark and Ferd
