Sister Mary Nadine Mathias, SNDSeptember 19, 1942 – May 14, 2025Professed August 13, 1962
Sister Mary Nadine Mathias, 82, someone who took notice and lived out of the Word of God both in her own life and in assisting others to appreciate deep truth, died on May 14, 2025 at Hospice of Northwest Ohio in Sylvania, OH.Born on September 19, 1942 in Indianapolis, IN, and baptized Sylvia, she was the oldest of four brothers and one sister. Parents, Herman and Margaret (Regner) Mathias moved the family to Bellevue, OH where Sylvia was taught by the Sisters of Notre Dame. She entered the Sisters of Notre Dame in 1960. Understanding that research was a way to give glory to God, she had the ability to search and find and the facts she unearthed led her to know more. It is no wonder her professional life was a story about being an elementary school teacher in Indiana, Illinois, Florida and Ohio 21 years; a high school librarian 25 years; and an archivist for the Diocese of Toledo nine years. When living in parishes, such as St. John, Delphos, OH, she often involved herself in parish council, religious education and office work. She was also on the executive board of the Diocesan Sisters Council. No matter her role, whether director of Notre Dame Academy’s Resource Center or serving in the community, Sister Nadine was determined to do her best, conveying spiritual energy and infinite patience. Students and her religious community felt comfortable in her presence and assured of her help. Even in her later years, she continued visiting family in California.She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother John, her sister Janet and twins who died at birth. She is survived by three brothers: Gregory, David and Richard. She will be truly missed by her loving family and religious community.
