Rosalyn Nadine Thompson, 91, of Snyder, passed away Friday, May 13, 2022, in Marlow. She was born May 10, 1931, in Cave City, Arkansas, to Charles Ellis and Emma (Newman) Chinn. Nadine was the oldest of three children.

She began corresponding with her brother D.B. during WW II and while doing so she began to write to Robert Thompson who asked for her hand in marriage. They were married October 25, 1945, in Sulphur Rock, Arkansas. He preceded her in death on May 2, 2002. Their first child, Judy Ann was born in Arkansas before they moved to Snyder. They then traveled to New Mexico to work as farm laborers. While there they lived in row houses which had dirt floors. Nadine swept and swept the floor but never successfully cleaned it.
They moved back to Snyder, where Robert worked in a granite quarry. Here more children were born, Robert Jr. (Buddy), Thomas, Elizabeth, David and John. Nadine baby sat many local children and developed a lifelong relationship with them. She never drove a car or had a driver’s license but walked or hitched a ride from friends. She never had a problem going wherever she wished.
Nadine was a great cook and could always make something for the large family to eat. Cooking from scratch, not using a recipe, she could make the best meatloaf, baked beans and fried pies. She loved having a home full of family and friends to feed. She always enjoyed shopping and having her nails polished and keeping up with Tracy.

Nadine had a strong personal relationship with God and was always attending church services and gospel singings. She loved the annual all-night singings at Konawa and Seminole. In her later years, she lived with Judy and the last ten years with John. She loved to talk on the telephone, even back when there was a party-line. She also enjoyed listening to country music, loved the grandchildren, the great-grandbabies, family and friends. She loved to talk, never met a stranger and always worried about everyone.
