Nancy A. Fisher, 80, of North Platte, Nebraska, passed away on December 21, 2025, at Great Plains Health.

Nancy was born at home on December 20, 1945, to Leon and Evelyn (Paxton) Fisher in North Platte, Nebraska. She grew up in a household with twelve siblings and attended North Platte High School, where she graduated.

Following high school, Nancy worked for the local telegraph company before continuing her education in college, where she studied education. She had a special love for working with elementary-aged children. Even after retirement, Nancy continued to give her time and care by volunteering at Lincoln Elementary School. She also worked at Shopko for many years.

Nancy was an avid reader and enjoyed sewing. She especially treasured time spent quilting and knitting with her sisters.

Nancy was blessed with a daughter, Shannon (Patrick) Burchett, and two grandchildren, Amanda and Kyle, who were the joy of her life.

Nancy faced health challenges for many years and was deeply grateful to receive the gift of a kidney transplant. The family extends heartfelt thanks to the donor for the precious gift of life, which greatly improved Nancy’s final years.

She was preceded in death by her parents and siblings. Nancy is survived by her daughter, grandchildren, and many loving nieces and nephews.

A private family celebration of life will be held at a later date.
