Zetta Nadiene Yeates, 81, of Tucson Arizona passed away peacefully Wednesday, February 16, 2022.
She was born in Belen, New Mexico to Elvie "Pete" and Zelia Gunter. She was a member of the First Baptist Church and found Christ at a young age. She graduated from Belen High School and was still living and working there when she met and married her first husband, Lee Roy Crain. They had three boys (Roy, Terry, and Tim), and spent most of their married life in Gallup, New Mexico....
Many good times were spent hunting, fishing and camping with family and friends. She was an accomplished seamstress and designed western shirts which she made for Lee Roy. She loved to cook and bake and everyone said she was one of the best cooks around. Something she enjoyed was baking cakes and making gingerbread houses for the annual PTA cakewalk.
Job wise, Nadiene was a pioneer for her time. She welded for a time in Missouri, worked underground in a uranium mine (and drove a Euclid truck) in New Mexico and started as a lineman for Mountain Bell in New Mexico. Over the years, she worked her way up in the phone company to a project manager. Some of the big projects she worked on were the Bank One Ballpark and various Arizona state prisons. She retired in the late 1990's in Phoenix, Arizona.
She and her second husband, Bobby Joe Yeates, then moved to Winslow, Arizona where they had several close friends that they met daily for coffee and conversation. After Bobby passed away, she moved to Tucson for her health....
She was preceded in death by her son Terry, husbands Lee Roy Crain and Bobby Joe Yeates; her parents, Pete and Zelia Gunter; brothers, Ray and Richard and sister Renee.
Funeral service for Zetta Nadiene Yeates will be held 10:00 a.m., Saturday, February 26, 2022 at Day Funeral Home, Marshfield, Missouri. Burial will follow the funeral service at Graham Cemetery, Conway, Missouri. Memorial donations may be made to the donor's local women's shelter.
