Notes

Graduate of St. Vincent's Academy, Shreveport, LA. 1926. Employed at Sears, Roebuck & Co. until about 1945 in the Ladies to Wear Department at Shreveport, LA. Nada met Bill at Sears where they both worked. Bill went off to serve in WWII, and she had a small apartment on Columbia St. in the Highland section, just a block from our house. I used to go there, sit on the front steps and wait for her to get off the trolley.

After Bill returned from the War they decided to relocate for better opportunity. Bill was offered a job at the Ammunition Plant near Texarkana, TX. When they got there, he decided the job was not for him and they flipped a coin - the coin landed on the Austin, TX highway and that is where they settled. Bill became manager of the Appliance Department at Sears in Austin. He was a mason and they enjoyed this as well as many other social events. Nada was an excellent housekeeper and cook. She always shared with her neighbors and became good friends with them wherever she lived.

When Bill retired from Sears, they headed for Rockport, Texas where they had a very comfortable home and enjoyed the beach and fishing. Bill & Nada gave us the grand tour when we visited them there and we had a wonderful time. In their older years they decided to come back home to Shreveport, LA where Bill's sister and Nada's sisters lived. They settled on Carrolton Ave in Broadmoor and lived there until they died. Both are buried in the WW II service plot at Greenwood Cemetery on Stoner Ave. After Bill was buried there a beautiful tree spread its roots and the site for Nada could not be used without damage to the tree. Her body was Cremated at Crowley, LA and burial next to her husband in Shreveport, LA. A graveside service was held by the Priest from the Broadmoor Catholic Church and all arrangements were performed by my sister, Dorothy Ware and her two daughters, Patti and Jackie Ware. Nada died after an extended illness in a Shreveport Hospital of acute kidney failure and was transferred to a nursing home in Crowley, LA and after spending about two months in the nursing home there she died in the hospital at Crowley, LA. Nada lived for many years by her self in the home Bill had provided. She became quite eccentric, difficult and senile. She refused any help from me and her other neice Delores and primarily depended on her neighbor across the street to provide necessities. She died without issue, and in her will she made bequest to my sister Dorothy and her sister Daisey.

She Rec'd 1/270th share.
