On January 19, 2009, Nanette Stradling Whiting was welcomed home to live with her Father in Heaven.
She was born to Larry and Peggy Stradling on April 20, 1954, in St. Johns, Arizona, and was the second of four children, Virginia Butler , Larry Von Stradling, and Tanya Clines.
On November 12, 1977, she married the love of her life, Edwin Marion Whiting. They started their life in Salt Lake City then moved back to their hometown of St. Johns where they raised five children, Jason, Jaymi, Julie, Tyson, and Cord Whiting. She loved life and loved being a mother. She spent much time in teaching her children to work, play, to enjoy family, respect others, to be Christ-like, but most importantly she taught them to love and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Nanette loved her Savior and family. Her life was dedicated to serving those around her, and above all, her family. More than anything in this world she loved her husband, her kids and especially her grand kids. She was a talented woman who loved life and excelled at whatever she did.
She was a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and served unconditionally in all her callings as well as in her community. She touched many peoples’ lives through her example, her love, and her generosity. She will be sorely missed by her husband Edwin Marion Whiting, her five children Jason (Shanda) Whiting, Jaymi (Dallas)Davis, Julie (Butch) Nielsen, James Tyson Whiting, and Joseph Cord Whiting ; her Father, Larry Stradling and Step-mother , Laura Stradling; her brother Larry Von (Rhonda) Stradling and two sisters Virginia (Butch) Butler and Tanya (John) Clines.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Peggy Stradling.

we are thinking about you guys. Hope everything is ok. I will for sure be up there Friday morning so if you need help with the boys let me know. Steven is seeing tonight if he can take the day off work to get up there. Call if you need us.
Words are never good enough in times like these and never seem to comfort the empty hole that is made when we begin the permenant earthly journey with out them. Someone welcomed me into the club a few years ago and I gave them a funny look as to question what club I was entering into...She said its the one that only few understand at the present moment and all will experience at least once. My heart is full with sorrow for your feelings of pain, happiness for the close spirit I am sure you can not deny and peace for the constant guidance that will now be in your families life from here to eternity. We love you and want you to know of our ever present support, "Welcome to the bittersweet Club." All our love, Stew and Traci

Jason,
I am so sorry about your mom! I can't imagine what a difficult time this must be for you guys! It doesn't seem possible! We loved your mom a lot and are so sorry for your loss! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
We were so shocked to see the post on Jamies blog! In the last couple of months your Mom and I have been emailing back and forth. It has been so fun to follow what has been happening in her live and her families life.She loved you with all her heart and was so proud of each of you and especially her grandkids. She will missed by all of us. I bet she and Julie Heap Martinsen and her MOM are really having a great time together. Our prayers are with your family!
Shanda, My heart goes out to you and Jason. It has almost been a year since Blair's Dad died Feb 26th 2008. I wish I could tell you that the pain goes away after a year but I can't...it does get easier to breath each day but the pain is still there. Thank goodness that we know Families are Forever. It helps make the pain worth it to know that you will be together again. I love you Shanda and pray for your family to be blessed with peace enough to finish out your earthly lives. You can do it! It is possible even though it may not seem like it at the moment. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Love,
Zonnie
