Obituary of Nadine Collesides

Nadine Collesides, born October 25th, 1962 peacefully left this world on Friday May 25th, 2018. Born in Jersey City, NJ, Nadine went on to raise her children in Howell, NJ, and was residing in Honesdale, PA at the time of her passing. Though her time on earth was short, she lived a vibrant life on her own terms, always. Never afraid to march to the beat of her own drum, Nadine will be remembered for her boundless creativity, sharp sense of humor, and free spirited nature. A lover of the outdoors and live music, Nadine was happiest when sitting around a campfire, lounging on the beach, or dancing at a concert. Always the entrepreneur, Nadine worked on and off as a floral designer, and her artistic talents were evident in all facets of her life. Nadine's creativity and imagination mader her the best party planner, costume maker, and gift-giver, and love for her family showed in the thoughtfulness of her gestures. Nadine's artistic resourcefulness and ability to "make things work" inspired those around her. Nadine will be deeply missed by her children, Sara and Alex, her siblings Michele, Guy, & Robin, cousin Marla, partner Michael Kozimor, countless other cousins, nieces, nephews and dear friends. Nadine is predeceased by her parents, Gustav and Mildred Collesides. A celebration of Nadine's life will be held at a later date to be determined. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made to your local animal shelter.
