Davis attended Mt. View Academy and Pacific Union College. She joined the NCC in 1993 and served as the school secretary at Orangevale Elementary for 4 years.
She returned to Orangevale as a teacher in 2021 and remained through November 2025. Coreen Hicks, Associate Superintendent, shared that Davis taught with Kingdom Kids, Orangevale’s pre-first class, first grade, and third grade during her tenure. Health issues eventually led her to leave full-time teaching, but she continued to volunteer up to two weeks before her passing.
Hicks continued, “In Nadine’s final days, I was deeply moved by her unwavering faith in God and the quiet peace she showed as she surrendered everything to His care and trusted His will.”
Former Orangevale pastor and friend Jon Cicle shared, “I will always remember Nadine as a woman of rare tenderness—deeply caring, quietly compassionate, and guided by her steadfast love for Jesus. Her gentle spirit and the light of her faith touched everyone who knew her.”
On December 6, the Orangevale Student Christmas program will be at Orangevale SDA Church during the church service, followed by a potluck lunch. At 2 PM, there will be a Celebration of Life service at the church.
