Nona was born on March 19, 1928 to George W. and Norah Cowan Green in Dierks, AR. She had two brothers and one sister. She married James Melvin Shadday in Dierks, AR on August 3, 1946 and had two children, Sherry Austin and Sharla Kay who died in infancy. Her first paying job was at Warren's Store in Idabel, Oklahoma. From Idabel she went to college at Southeastern State College in Durant, Oklahoma. Upon graduation she moved to Amarillo, Texas where she taught the 4th grade at Will Rogers Elementary School for 30 years. She was a faithful member of North Amarillo Church of Christ since 1957. She moved to Clinton, MO in November of 2009 to live with her daughter and son-in-law. They were quite a trio. She and her son-in-law, Glen, would always take sides against her one and only daughter. The standing joke was that Glen was her favorite. She was a member of Clinton Church of Christ. Nona's enjoyment in life was living for the Lord and caring for others. She enjoyed sewing and cooking and made many jackets for family and friends along with many stuffed animals and clowns. She was famous for her homemade rolls, fried chicken, apple pie, and fried apricot pies. One of the highlights of the year was planning the great camping trip with family and friends to Beaver Bend State Park in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. where the crew would gather and have the most famous fish fry.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband James (Jim) Melvin Shadday, in 1993 and one brother Bill Green, in 2003 and her sister Tense Brittain, in 2013.
She is survived by her daughter, Sherry Austin and husband Glen, of Clinton, MO; one brother, Monte Green, of Broken Bow, OK; Two grandchildren, Kathy Austin Moore and husband Mike, of Republic, MO; Tracy Glen (T.G.) Austin and wife Lisa, of Texarkana, AR; Seven great grandchildren, Ryan Moore and wife Debbie, of Fort Leonard Wood, MO; Jessica Moore and Samuel Moore, of Republic, MO; Kolton, Tanner, and Landen Austin, of Bentonville, AR; and Myca Austin of Harrison, AR; Three great-great grandchildren, Dean, Laura, and James Moore of Fort Leonard Wood, MO, along with several nephews, nieces, and cousins who knew her well as Aunt Nona.
