Nancie Peacocke Fadeley (July 11, 1930 – April 7, 2024) was a member of the Oregon House of Representatives, representing portions of Springfield and Eugene, in Lane County, Oregon, United States, from 1971 [3] to January 1981. [1] Elected in November 1970, [4] she first took office in January 1971, [5] holding one of five seats (Position 1) in House District 13 (mostly in Lane County). [3] With the implementation in 1972 of a reapportionment plan that replaced all existing Oregon House districts with new single-member districts, [6] Fadeley represented new District 42 starting with the 1973 legislative session. [7]
In 1971 and 1973, she chaired the House Environment and Land Use Committee. [8] During her tenure as the chair, the committee oversaw the passage of Senate Bill 100, Oregon's pioneering, statewide land-use planning legislation, as well as the Oregon Bottle Bill. The passage of SB 100 prompted the formation of 1000 Friends of Oregon, a watchdog organization committed to the defense of, and advocacy for, the state's land-use program.
Later she became a charter member and a national board member of the Older Women's League (OWL), a grassroots organization that advocates for women as they age. [9] After her service in the Oregon Legislative Assembly, Fadeley began a career at the University of Oregon, where she was assistant vice provost.[ citation needed]
Fadeley was born in St. Louis, Missouri. She was married to Edward Fadeley for about 30 years, ending in 1984. [10] During the 1970s, the couple both served in the Oregon Legislature — Nancie in the House and Ed in the Senate.
The mother of two children, Fadeley was a freelance journalist who wrote about Oregon history, environmental issues, and concerns of older women. She received a master's degree from the University of Oregon in 1974. [11]
