Our beloved Nancy (Nannie) Haden Fisher, daughter of the late Benjamin Haden and Sarah Elizabeth (Betty) Clough Haden, born in Goochland, VA, stepped away to glory Monday evening June 9, 2014 at Manor Care in Yeadon Pennsylvania, at the extended age of 109 years. The grand conductor of the universe sent an angelic call, stamped her reservation ticket; she boarded her train and went on home to be with the Lord.
She was honored several times in recent years as the longest living citizen in Philadelphia and vicinity. Her most recent honor and celebration was held on May 21, 2014 in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
She will always be remembered for her faithfulness and fervor. She was indeed anointed by the Holy Spirit and was never ashamed to talk about the Lord.
She is survived by one son, Daniel (Dan) Culbreth of Goochland, Virginia; three nieces, Parfena Haden Quarles, Ann Haden Wilkins and Idamae Haden Claibourne of Goochland, Virginia; six nephews, Linwood A. Haden, Houston Haden, Dr. Charles B. Haden Jr., MD of Goochland, VA, Rev. Dr. Joseph Haden, Sr., Fort Washington, MD and Cornell Haden of Natural Bridge, VA; a sister-in-law, Mrs. Elnora P. Haden of Goochland, VA; a devoted and caretaking friend, Shirley of Philadelphia, PA and the late Russell of Philadelphia, PA, and a host of great nieces, great nephews, cousins, relatives and friends.
