Yula Nadeau Obituary (1938 - 2022)

Yula "Luciann" Nadeau, 83, died peacefully on October 24, 2022. A widow these past 15 years, Yula and Larry, her beloved husband of 47 years, are reunited. Born in Madison, WI on December 24th, 1938 and named for the Yule season of her birth, Yula was a beacon of warmth and hospitality in her Gig Harbor community, where she and Larry ran a bed and breakfast and wedding venue from their home, the Olde Glencove Hotel. Yula took great pride in the hotel, which was constructed in 1897 and recognized as a Washington state historical landmark in 1978. She maintained the home as a living piece of the region's history for 47 years. The hotel was a place for high tea, weddings, music, warmth and laughter. Yula wore many hats in her rich life; she was an entrepreneur, a prolific singer/songwriter alongside her husband, a homemaker and educator. She is survived by her daughters Julie Mosesly, Monique Nadeau and husband Joe Schneider and Marci Bogardus; her grandchildren Korbett Mosesly, Michelle Vickery, Jesse Pestana and Jason Pestana; Brian Bogardus, and 5 grand- and 10 great-grandchildren. The family will hold a private ceremony.
