Nadine Carr Tripp entered into her eternal rest on April 16, 2023, in Chowchilla, Madera County, California, two years after she had a stroke at her home in Oakhurst, California. She was 91 years and 16 days of age.
She was born on March 31, 1932, in Jay, Delaware County, Oklahoma to John Ewing Carr and Nancy Luetta Dragoo. Although her first given name was Minnie, she declared Nadine as her first name when she applied for her Delayed Birth Certificate.
Nadine's family came to California during the Great Depression of 1939, with a stopover in Maricopa County, Arizona where they lived in a tent camp in the desert. By 1942, they settled in the small farming community of Chowchilla. Nadine married Amos Robert Tripp on September 8, 1948, in Madera. They lived in a modest home that he was remodeling on Humboldt Street before purchasing a home on Orange Avenue. They went their separate ways about 1963. Nadine moved to Oakhurst where she lived until she became a resident of the Palms in Chowchilla.
She was a perfectionist in her home and her hobbies, a detailed seamstress, an award-winning crocheter, and an immaculate housekeeper. She was a devout Christian, and in her retirement years was designated as a Pillar of the Church in her local congregation.
Nadine was preceded in death by her son Robert Allen Tripp (2022); her father, John E. Carr (1953), mother, Nancy L. Dragoo (1985); brothers Elmer (1968), Clyde (1981), William Thomas and Frank Lee Carr (1999); and sisters Annie May (1916), Addie Carr Duncan (2002), and Mary Ann Carr Rice-Erwin (2008).
She is survived by her son C. Douglas Tripp and his wife Cozette, of Mesa, Arizona, four grandchildren, and sisters Viola Carr Wilson-Parsons, of Rocklin, California, and Violet Carr Moore of Livermore, California.
