On Dec. 17, 1957, Nadeen met the love of her life, Cliff Hyde. They were married 4 months later on April 4, 1958 at which time she moved to Houston Texas. Before meeting and marrying Cliff, Nadeen attended Del Mar College for a year and then became a stewardess for Braniff Airlines. Cliff and Nadeen welcomed their first child, Michael, in April of 1959 and two years later, their second child, David was born in August of 1961. In 1965, while working for the family business, Cliff Hyde Flying Service, Cliff and Nadeen moved to La Porte, where they would raise their family and become active members of the La Porte Community. Among her many accomplishments, Nadeen soloed in a Cessna 150, was an active Den Mother for the Cub Scouts, was a lifelong member of the First United Methodist Church and served as a member of the Ladies Reading Club, La Porte Garden Club, La Porte Heritage Society and the Houston Yacht Club Ladies Association. Nadeen loved to travel, and she and Cliff traveled extensively throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, Alaska and Europe.
