Nadine Boyer

(From Hedge-Lewis-Goodwin Funeral Home)

Nadine Elnore Boyer, 94, of Webb City, Missouri, formerly of Alba, Missouri, passed away peacefully at her residence on Sunday afternoon, January 19, 2025. She entered this life on October 26, 1930, in Wallace, Idaho, the middle of three children born to the late Dick Leroy and Lela (Purcell) Witherspoon.

Raised in Alba, Missouri, Nadine was a graduate of Alba High School, class of 1948. Shortly thereafter, she married the love of her life, Cloyd Victor Boyer, on November 17, 1948. Their marriage was a testament to enduring love, lasting seventy-two years until Cloyd's passing in 2021. Together, they welcomed five children into the world, creating a family legacy that would be Nadine's greatest pride and joy.







Nadine's life was characterized by her role as a devoted homemaker, a vocation she embraced with grace and dedication. While her husband, Cloyd, pursued a professional baseball career that spanned nearly five decades, Nadine was the cornerstone of the home, ensuring that no matter where Cloyd's career took him, Alba, Missouri, remained their family's homestead. She was an avid reader and a talented seamstress. Nadine was a longtime member of Alba Christian Church.

She is survived by her three children, Ken Boyer and his wife, Brenda, of Webb City; Cheryl Boyer of Alba; and Jim Boyer and his wife, Teresa, also of Webb City. Nadine's legacy also includes ten grandchildren, nineteen great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren. Her passing leaves a void in the hearts of a host of other family members and friends whose lives she touched with her kindness and generosity.







Nadine was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved husband Cloyd, her children Teresa and Mike Boyer, and her siblings Margie Seaton and Don Witherspoon.
