GEORGENE NIDY Obituary

Georgene Nidy was born in Pittsburgh, PA, and graduated from the Art institute of Pittsburgh, where she met her husband of 59 years, Robert Nidy. Georgene was a caring loving mother grandmother and wife. She and Bob maintained art galleries in Carmel, CA, and Fresno, CA. Mom taught art at Hallmark Charter and VROP. Georgene wishes to thank the staff and students for loving support and amazing memories. Mrs. Nidy is survived by her husband Bob; children, Puddy Alfred Garen, and Jeff; daughter-in-law Tanya; and two grandchildren, for which near the end of her journey, she fought everyday for yet another moment of life to spend with Louden and Logan. Mom was loved and cared for by so many in her lifetime. Her parents, George and Inez Mazuran; sister Caroline. Much love to her extended family, Stan Kranzler, Norma Edwards, and family; Rita Doll Jody, and Susan Ruble, and family; Carrie Hong and family; Scott, Jeff, Dan, and Tom and Louise Nidy; Pam Knox and family, for always treating her like an angel. Love of friends, Linda and Jess Silva, and family; Marilyn Sheri McKeaghan; Joice Bliatout; Al and Mary Sanchez; Debbie Marvin and staff; neighbors, Paul and Jo Soligian; Atamian's; Haro's; Hamm's; Poloyian's; and Sharon Shafer. Mom was so grateful to the many who gave time love and support. Love to Fernando and Paz Magania; Veronika Paz; Cynthia Tim; Stacy Simons; Linda Gong; Gordon and Amy Kovacavich, and family; and Jim and Jan for the love and support and that pasta and ribs! Thank you Dr. Steven Hager and staff; Dr's Rao Sheehan Mahal, and Chaudry, for your amazing care in medicine and your friendship. Love to Ann Monahan and St.Agnes Hospice, who's staff did an epic job lifting mom's spirits. Ann, mom loved you like a daughter. Nancy, you were amazing. Georgene's wishes were to not inconvenience others in her passing, so per her wishes, no service is planned. Those who loved her and knew her have the memories of sharing precious moments of life with her. She supported cancer and animal rescue groups. She really loved dogs. Nothing ever could make mom happier than to have someone who loved her rescue a animal from a shelter or even off the streets. "God will bless you mom we will miss you always.'

Jeff, Garen, and Robert -

I am so sorry to hear about Georgene's passing. For the short time I knew her she was always so kind and I remember her always smiling.

I still have one of her Turtle Love watercolor paintings hanging in my home, it's moved with me three times over the last 20-something years. I will always cherish it, and above all, it brings so much joy every time I pass by it. I also cherish the Fresno State Chaminade print with the pineapple (signed by Jeff as Boyd) that Robert did.

I hope you are lifted by warm thoughts and the love of those who care about you all. My deepest condolences and love.

I will always remember her kindness and, silly as it sounds, the terrific refrigerator pickles that she made and shared with my family.

Decades ago, when I was only 8 years old, I saw a small picture, somewhere, she had painted. It was just a tiny oil painting of a little girl with a box of kittens.

I loved it. And wanted it very much! We, already had two of Robert Nidy's prints, way before they had established their studios and became the names they are in the Art world.

My Mom bought me that little painting. It sat on my night stand for decades, and I just passed it on to my niece this Summer as part of her Baby Shower Gift.

I am so saddened to hear of her passing. I hope, others, like me, recognize her beautiful talent.

That picture sat on my night stand for DECADES! It was/is a part of my childhood. Thank you for your beautiful talent.
