Where do you start to talk about Nadyne? She was one in a million.вЂќДЄnd yet, even though she had become the savior of many in the elderly community who may have otherwise receded into isolation, after her 90th birthday it became customary for her to thank everyone for allowing her to volunteer herself. She was so kind to me and my family and just wanted to help everyone. Everything she could do to have seniors involved and engaged,вЂќ said Jane Croft who became very close with Leedom as they worked at the community center for decades. вЂњShe believed strongly in the senior RTD program.

She always donated all the fee from her classes back to the center and on her 90th birthday the community center named the big room where she taught for almost three decades Nadyne Leedom Hall. SheвЂ™s received Lifetime Achievement and Volunteer of the Year awards from Volunteers of AmericaвЂ™s Retired Senior Volunteer Program, an outstanding volunteer award on National Philanthropy Day, she has been recognized by the Broncos organization and received a Minoru Yasui award for her volunteer work. Because of her deep devotion to to voluntary action in the community Leedom accumulated a stunning 15,000 hours of volunteer work after her retirement and has been recognized both locally and nationally for her contributions.Дenver volunteers pack meals for poor seniors She worked with animal foundations and served meals to those in need.

She drove in through the neighborhood in her 1969 bright orange Pontiac Firebird and everyone knew it was her coming. Leedom was at peace when her fingers were buried in the wet earth of her garden with Frank Sinatra, or other music of the era, playing as she worked. ThatвЂ™s not to say that she didnвЂ™t enjoy her life before becoming a role model in the community. To me this step she took by herself is an inspiration for older persons andВ particularly womenВ showing that they have opportunities in our community to do important things other than just growing older and becoming socially irrelevant,вЂќ said Stan Gregory, LeedomвЂ™s nephew.В вЂњI think NadyneвЂ™s lifeВ can become an important story for all of us.вЂќ вЂњShe began herВ volunteer career and came into her own. She then moved her aerobics courses to Epiphany Lutheran Church and continued teaching until she was 99 years old. She began as an attendee, but took over the course when its original instructor left and kept that gig for more than 25 years.

Leedom walked through the Washington Street Community Center doors for an exercise class in the 1970s and kept coming back. Digital Replica Edition Home Page Close Menu
