Blanche Nadine Self

Blanche Nadine Self, age 85, a long-time resident of Hugo, Okla., and a beacon of warmth in her community, passed away peacefully on Feb. 16, 2024 in Hugo. Born on Dec. 30, 1938 in Antlers, Okla., to Delbert Gernand and Laura Edith Jones, Nadine grew up surrounded by love and laughter. On Feb. 9, 1957, Nadine married the love of her life, Dickie Self, and together they built a happy home in Hugo. The couple’s enduring partnership was an inspiration to all who knew them until Dickie’s passing in 2009.

Nadine carried on the family’s legacy with the same strength and grace she channeled into her work at the Wells Lamont Glove Factory. As a proud member of her local community, Nadine’s commitment to her work was rivaled only by her dedication to her family and friends.

While Nadine was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Dickie Self; her parents, and her siblings: Charles, Lorelei, Donna, Jane and Joan, her spirit lives on through her nephews; her nieces, and a host of dear friends.

Nadine’s passion for reading, her love of old-time TV shows, and the melodies of Elvis filled her home with joy. Her dogs, Princess, Joey, and Bull also brought her great comfort and companionship. Nadine’s legacy of love, strength, and kindness will be fondly remembered and dearly missed.

A celebration of Nadine’s life was held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2024 at Mt. Olivet Cemetery, where friends and family gathered to honor her memory and the happiness she brought to all who knew her.

Services have been entrusted to Prater-Lampton-Mills & Coffey Funeral Home.
