On a beautiful sunny morning, with birds singing and butterflies in her garden, One of God’s most precious gifts to this world, Nadia Mae Pilcher was greeted by Jesus and her heavenly family on October 7, 2020. She peacefully slipped into Jesus’ arms with her sister, Mary Ellen Martin by her side.
Nadia Mae Pilcher was born in Montier, Missouri, the daughter of Joseph and Myrtle (Thomas) Martin. She was blessed with five children.
Nadia was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Myrtle Martin; sister, Doreene Thomas; brother-in-law Odell Thomas, and daughter-in-law Barbara Pilcher.
She is survived by her five children, Donald Ray Pilcher of Camden TN, Lola Ann Woodworth of Birch Tree, MO, Beverly Ann Prewett and husband, Rick of Winona, MO, Robert Ray Pilcher of Paris, TN, and Katherine Joann Minnich and husband, Mark of Winona, MO; four wonderful grandsons; seven wonderful granddaughters, six great-grandchildren; one sister, Mary Ellen Martin; three brothers, Jim Martin and wife, Judy, Dale Martin and wife, Mrytle, and Gene Martin and wife, Irene all of Birch Tree, MO; along with several nieces and nephews.
Nadia worked at Mountain View Bowling Alley for many years as a cook before going to work at Mountain View Fabricating. She retired in 2003 and enjoyed every bit of her retirement. She became ill in 2008 and spent her years at Mountain View Healthcare. She never missed their church services, and you could always hear her singing and praising Jesus. She was a hardworking woman and would always lend a helping hand to anyone in need.
Nadia enjoyed and loved all of her family. She enjoyed putting together jigsaw puzzles, cooking for her family, gardening, and she loved to sing. She loved and taught her children about the love of Jesus. We are so thankful for the gift of time that God gave us to love on her, laugh with her, and say our goodbyes. She will be greatly missed and loved by everyone that knew her.
Funeral services will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 10, 2020 at Montier Church of God of Prophecy, Montier, Missouri, with Vic Elliott officiating under the direction of Yarber Mortuary, Birch Tree. Visitation will begin at 2:00 p.m., also in the church. Interment will be in Montier Cemetery, Montier, Missouri. Condolences may be expressed at www.yarbermortuary.com.
