Nada White Fluckiger

Nada White Fluckiger was born at home in Thayne, Wyoming on September 11, 1933, a
beloved daughter of Gordon Myron White and Hilda Verena Clark White. She died of natural
causes on April 8, 2025 in the same home. As a child, she grew up without indoor plumbing or
electricity. She began baking bread at the age of eight in a wood and coal stove. A water-filled
ditch by the house was where cans of milk from her father's hand-milked cows were kept cold
and where Nada got water to heat on the stove for cooking, bathing, and washing.
Nada dreamed of her high school sweetheart, Henry LaMont Fluckiger, while gazing at the stars
under the purple lilac bushes in the front yard. LaMont and Nada were married in the Idaho Falls
Temple on December 27, 1950 and raised their family in the San Francisco Bay area in
California. Nada sang, played and taught guitar, piano, organ, and accompanied many church
and civic groups.
When her husband LaMont died on June 16, 1997, she deeply missed him every day. She
often thought of him while sitting by the kitchen window overlooking the side yard. She loved to
watch the sprinklers sparkle water over the manicured green lawn and the colorful flowers. She
thanked the lawn guy for his work and her parents and grandparents for the beautiful
homestead they built. Her favorite color was green, the color of the alfalfa hay she'd buck raked
with a team of horses as a girl.
Nada often expressed gratitude for her faithful parents; their teachings of tithing, being frugal
and staying out of debt. She lived economically on the income provided by her hard-working
husband who worked for years at Del Monte Corporation in California. One of Nada's greatest
blessings was to live and grow old in the house where she was born. She did just that, after
LaMont retired in 1985, their family moved back to the homestead in Thayne, Wyoming.
Nada is survived by her brothers: Gordon White (Donna), Reldon White (Doreen, deceased),
her sister Vona White Hunsaker (Lyle ) and her children: Jarene Fluckiger, Kellan Fluckiger
(Joy), Markell Fluckiger (Ellen), Ialen Fluckiger (deceased), Ezdan Fluckiger (Lisa), Deulene
Fluckiger Petrie (Craig) and Celynn Fluckiger Pulsipher (Bart). Funeral services will be held on
April 14, 2025, 11am at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Thayne, Wyoming.
Nada will be laid to rest at the Bedford Cemetery in Bedford, Wyoming.
