Wasena Nadine Absher Price

Wasena Nadine Absher Price, age 88 of Christiansburg, left the family that she dearly loved to be with her Heavenly Father on February 13, 2025. Nadine was a retired employee of the Montgomery County Department of Social Services. She was a dedicated and loving mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, grand mother-in-law, and great grandmother. She was born on May 13, 1936, as the first child of the late Harold Absher, Sr. and the late Hattie Sue Absher. She was also preceded in death by her dearly beloved husband, Arthur G. Price, Sr., great granddaughter Maelie Elizabeth Nagle, sister, Wanda Absher Croy, brother, Harold Absher, Jr., her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Russell and Gladys Price, sister-in-law Jackie Jo Price Johnston, brother-in-law, Barry Price, sister-in-law, Faye Hall Price, sister-in-law, Laverne (Kay) Price, and brother-in-law Jerry Johnston. She leaves to cherish her memory, a son and daughter-in-law, Art Price and Donita Croy Price that she adored and deeply loved. Three precious granddaughters and their husbands that she loved more than words can express, Hope Price Velickovic (Ivan), Maddie Price Duke (David), and Mary Price Nagle (Zach), great grandchildren that she so dearly loved and gave her the nickname “Cookie” because she brought them cookies every week when she was healthy to do so, Olivia Ivana Velickovic, Landon Thomas Nagle, Emmie Jane Duke, and Zoe Rayne Nagle. She is also survived by sister-in- law, Linda Pharis Absher, brother-in- law, William (Tiny) Croy, brother-in-law, Rusty Price, several nieces and nephews. When she was healthy enough, Nadine loved to be at everything that Art, Donita, Hope, Maddie, Mary, Olivia, Landon, Emmie and Zoe did. She kept a notebook of all the grades and gymnastics and basketball scores of her great grandchildren. She recently developed a love for Auburn High School Baseball and Floyd County High School Football because of Art’s love for both. She was also a supporter of the Salem-Roanoke Baseball Hall of Fame. She will be missed more than words can even begin to express. After she saw the face of Jesus Christ with open arms and reunited for eternity with “her Arthur”, she heard a little voice that she never heard before say, “Hey,Cookie! I am Maelie.” The family will receive friends from 5 until 7 p.m. Tuesday, February 18 at McCoy Funeral Home (Blacksburg). Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, February 19 at the McCoy Funeral Home Chapel with dear family friend Pastor Stanley “Shake” Smith officiating.
