Obituary of Mae S Nale

Mae S. Nale (Blondie) September 29, 1933-April 26, 2022 On April 26, 2022, heaven gained a very special soul. Sieni Mae Nale was born on September 29, 1933, in Billings, Montana to Albert and Edith Busch. She spent her childhood in Montana until she married the love of her life, Clyde Nale on July 10, 1949. They moved around in their early marriage as Clyde worked in construction until they settled down and spent most of their married life in the house on Jellison Way in Arvada, Colorado. The couple had four children. Mae loved her family and was well thought of by her neighbors. Her nickname was †œBlondie†� as her husband Clyde had given her. He was a customer at a cafÁ© that she worked at, and she was very shy and would not give him her name, so he just called her †œBlondie†�. She liked to cook, and her culinary skills were excellent. Nobody who visited her home ever went hungry. She was also a skilled seamstress, and she enjoyed her backyard. Many hours were passed sitting on her back porch with family and friends where a myriad of special memories were made. She will be missed by all who knew her. She is preceded in death by not only her husband of 53 years, Clyde Nale but also her parents, Albert and Edith Busch as well as three sisters, Ella Joyce, Susie Reighardt and Judy Hamiliton and also her older brother who passed three years ago on the same day, Herman Busch. Mae is survived by all four of her children, Shirley Hardinger (Gene) of Grand Junction, CO, Kathy Swanson (John) of Benkelman, NE, Steve Nale (Sheree) of Greeley, CO and Jean Williams (Roger) of Arvada, CO. She is further survived by seven grandchildren, Shawna Kralicek (Chris) of Northglenn, CO, Kandy Davidge (Pat) of Port Charlotte, FL, Joe Holcomb of Whitewater, CO, Jenny Kostka (Kevin) of Johnstown, CO, Sam Holcomb (Stefanie) of Grand Junction, CO, Jackie Nale-Markley (Kyle) of Greeley, CO and Doug Nale (Sarah) of Mobile, AL. Additionally, Clyde and Mae created quite a legacy as they also left behind eleven great grandchildren, Kevin, Christa, Mikayla, Karissa, Andrew, Camryn, Branden, Klayton, Jakob, Arthur and Tucker along with one great great grandchild, Keke. Final survivors include three sisters, Bessie Hurtado, Arlene Hein and Janet Rauch as well as several nieces and nephews.
