Ola Nadine Klein, 92, of Sedalia, MO, passed away Monday, September 30, 2019, at Fair View Nursing Home in Sedalia. She was born on August 24, 1927, in La Monte, MO, the daughter of Thomas Homer and Myrl Josephine (Poynter) Kindle.

On June 30, 1945, in Warrensburg, MO, she was united in marriage to Martin J. Klein, with whom she shared fifty-two years of love.

Nadine was a strong-willed woman who dedicated her life to her family, friends and anyone who needed help and love. She loved cooking. She loved making breakfast and lunch every day for the boys, and anyone else who walked through the door.

She was employed at many restaurants throughout her life, including the Old Missouri Homestead, the original Country Club of Sedalia, Maxine’s Gourmet House and The Homeplace. She was head honcho at the Youth Building on the Missouri State Fair grounds for over thirty years. She catered numerous events at the Tiki House.

Nadine loved sneaking off to the boat to gamble with whoever would take her. She loved going to garage sales with her sisters-in-law. Nadine was proud to be a member of the Kindle and Klein families, making her related to almost everyone in town. She was a member of St. Patrick’s church.

She is survived by her son, Johnny Klein; her granddaughters, Dena Perkins (Kevin) and Shandee Burtis (Cory); three great-grandsons, Gannon, Gunner and Bryden; additional grandchildren, Elizabeth, David, and Michael Zink, Mike and Stephan Morrison, and their children; her sister, Kathy Martin (Corbett); sisters-in-law, Frankie Kindle, Pat Ferguson and Gwen Klein; and brother-in-law, Andy Klein.
