Nancy Louise Harder

Nancy Louise Harder was born in Compton, California to Richard Wayne and Georgialee Harder on September 29, 1955. She had a brother, Timothy, who was seven years her elder. He preceded her in death, as did her parents and her husband of almost 40 years, Arthur P. Fisher, Jr.

Nancy loved Southern California and lived in Santa Ana until she was in her teens. The Harder family moved to Connecticut and that is where Nancy graduated high school in 1974. She had many close friends who became lifelong connections offering her much joy and support.

On October 25, 1982 in Sandwich, Massachusetts she married Art Fisher and they began their elegant adventures taking as many trips as they could with as many friends and family members possible! The couple thoroughly enjoyed being with loved ones and having fun.

Art and Nancy lived in various cities in the northeast, and in Dallas, Texas during their marriage. They had several properties which Nancy managed most tenderly. The move to Dallas was prompted by Nancy’s parents’ health. Nancy was very close to Richard and GeorgiaLee; Art loved them almost as much as she did. When Richard passed in 2003, Georgialee lived with Art and Nancy until her passing in 2010.

Nancy was a retailer by trade. She had impeccable style! Her career roles were as a distributor, a top store manager, and a regional purchaser for national retail companies.

Nancy L. Harder is survived by her stepdaughter, Dawn Hoffman (husband Don), granddaughter Rachell Moodie (husband Matt), grandson Benjamin Dean (wife Vanessa), and two adoring great-granddaughters Madelyn and Hannah Moodie all of the Tampa, Florida area. She is sorely missed for her loving, warm heart and tremendous listening skills. Nancy was slow to advise until asked. She was deliberate with her words; Nancy gave those she loved everything she had…. she dutifully and carefully tended to her husband’s ailments for 18 months, throughout COVID, only to become afflicted with stage 4 cancer shortly after laying him to rest. Nancy fought sickness with every ounce available, to be with and speak with family and friends as much as she could.

Rest in Peace Nancy / Grandma Nanny / “Nanny”; We love you.
