Nancy Carolyn Doss Hardy, 75, of Goldston, went to her Heavenly home on Thursday, January 8th, 2026, at UNC Chapel Hill surrounded by family.

Nancy was a nanny to many and loved taking care of children. She worked at GE in Lynchburg, VA and for Quality Mold here in Siler City. She was kind and generous and never met a stranger. She was one of those people that would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it. She always put her family first and loved them wholeheartedly. She was always taking care of others. She loved flowers and cooking. She was especially known for her sweet potato pie. She loved Christmas and decorating for it. She was put in the local paper and was dubbed “The Santa Lady”. She also loved “Bigfoot” and enjoyed anything that was about bigfoot. Nancy also loved animals and was known to take care of them also.

Left to cherish Nancy’s memory is her husband of 33 years, Dallas Junior Hardy of the home; her daughter, Tammy Lindsay of Goldston; her grandchildren, Lyndsay Hamilton and her husband, Jon, Courtney Lindsay, Taylor Lindsay, and Alex Lindsay; her great grandchildren, Scarlet, Mia, Liam, Greyson, and Dallas; her brother, James Doss and his wife, Brenda; her nieces, Wanda and Shelby; and her faithful companion, Cy.
