May 4, 1962 – July 28, 2025
With deep love and profound sadness, we announce the passing of Nanette Readinger on July 28, 2025, at the age of 63.
Nanette was a loving mother, devoted grandmother, and treasured friend whose warmth and strength touched all who knew her. She was the heart of her family-the one who held everyone together, no matter the distance or circumstance.
She leaves behind her beloved children: Sarah Sherwood and her husband Dustin, Veronica Topp and her husband Mike, Vinnie Vinopal and his wife Meghan, and Lainna McElhiney and her husband Matt. Nanette's legacy continues through her adored grandchildren: Nevaeh, Walker, Aevin, Carson, Raevin, Sawyer, Zander, Skyler and Charlotte, plus her grand pig Zelda, who brought endless joy and pride to her life.
Nanette is also survived by her loving brothers, Ronald Walker and his wife Sandy, and Orval Walker, as well as her adored nieces and nephews: Cassie, Ronny, David, and Ethan. Their bond remained strong through the years filled with memories, laughter, and unconditional love.
Known for her unwavering love, sharp wit, and vibrant spirit, Nanette was more than a mother and grandmother-she was the Queen. Her strength, kindness, and humor created a safe haven for all who knew her. Whether offering words of wisdom or a listening ear, she had a unique ability to make everyone feel valued and seen.
She will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever cherished.
Long live the Queen.
