Lovetta Nadine Fox was born September 26, 1928 in Washington, Okla., one of four daughters born to William Parker Fox and R. Delpha (Taylor) Fox. She was raised in Purcell and attended Purcell schools, graduating with the Dragon Class of 1947. In high school, Nadine was a standout athlete for the Lady Dragons Basketball team.
She met a young man from neighboring Washington named Dennis Lowell Keith. They married and together raised five children, sons, Lowell, Darrell, Kenny, Kirt and daughter, Beverly. While the kids were young, Nadine stayed home, caring and providing for their every need.
She later worked for Washington Public Schools in the cafeteria as the head cook. She retired as manager after more than 15 years of dedicated service. Nadine’s love for sports stayed with her throughout life, as she greatly enjoyed following and cheering for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She was very instrumental at the Washington Senior Center, planning and organizing community events, quilting and playing dominos with dear friends.
She later married Kenneth Andrews. They enjoyed four years of marriage, before his passing in 2016. She was a wonderful mother, the best grandmother and great-grandmother and an excellent example for many. She will be dearly missed!
