Nadine Driver

(From Ozark Funeral Home)

Nadine Marie Driver, age 82, of Anderson, Missouri, departed this life peacefully on Wednesday evening, November 26, 2025, in the comfort of her daughters home in Anderson. She entered this life on September 3, 1943, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the second of four children born to the union of the late Noah and Flossie (Sloan) Cordray.

Raised in the heart of Tulsa, Nadine was a graduate of Daniel Webster High School, class of 1962. Her life took a beautiful turn when she married her soulmate, Wayne Driver, on October 14, 1968. Together, they navigated the twists and turns of life for nearly five decades until Wayne's passing in 2018.

In 1982, Nadine and Wayne planted their roots in Anderson, Missouri. She was a devoted homemaker throughout her life. Her husband's career as an over-the-road truck driver saw them embark on countless adventures together, with Nadine relishing the opportunity to explore the country by his side. Beyond her family, Nadine had a passion for crocheting. The time spent with her grandchildren was precious, filled with lessons, laughter, and the creation of cherished memories.

Nadine is survived by her four children, Danny Bacon of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Conie Roberts of Sapulpa, Oklahoma, David Driver and wife, Stephanie, of Seymour, Missouri and Cassandra Teague and husband, Arley, of Anderson, Missouri; seven grandchildren, James, Carissa, Donna, Colton, Bridget, Courtney and Hannah; nineteen great grandchildren; and four great-great-grandchildren; as well as a host of other family and friends. 

 

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Wayne Driver on January 6, 2018; and three siblings, Leonard, Patty and Paul Cordray.
