Bell Rd. Visitation 1 hour prior to services. Malcolm White Loughborough, 67, Phoenix Arizona, passed away August 16, 2001. Private internment. By Connie Cone Sexton The Arizona Republic The funeral service for Nina Harris had been over for more than half an hour, but dozens of her friends remained huddled in the foyer.

They needed more time to share memories, a little more time to hone the art of "doing Nina." There was that defining way she made a point, right fist clenched, index finger pointed to the sky. And of course, there was the voice: high-pitched and soft, sweet but not cloying. "If you could get past the voice, there was substance there," said Margaret Macias, chairwoman of the counseling department at Phoenix College, where Harris was a faculty member. Harris was 54 when she died July 27 after a 10-month battle with colon cancer. She never considered her voice flawed.

Rather than a hindrance, she flaunted its uniqueness, forging a career as a public speaker, teacher and counselor. She ran Nina Friends, a professional speaking business, developed vocational education programs for Mesa Public Schools and served as a health career instructor at the Phoenix Indian School. Her life was about as packed as anyone could make it, longtime friend Nikki Lanf ord said. Along with the career achievements, she devoted herself to people. "She was so kind and caring.

She cultivated friendships like priceless flowers," Lanford said. Harris, who was divorced, never had children but loved to surround herself with youngsters, whether they were 6 or 60, friend Terry Earp said. "She was a workaholic but always let her inner child out to play," Earp said. "She loved to read the tabloids. It was one of her dirty little secrets." Harris liked making lists and was an avid reader of recipes.

She and Lanford would spend hours poring over possible concoctions. "But after about two hours, she'd turn to me and say, 'Where do you want to go to Lanford said Harris was quiet but sometimes liked to spring her witty, sharp side. "She was a steel magnolia. She could be very exacting. If she was on a trip and her hotel room wasn't the way she wanted, the bellhop better look out.

But once things were settled, she'd' be just fine. She'd say, "I think this will work out just 859 Cemetery Lots, Monuments Svcs CEMETERY LOT, Rose Garden in Resthaven COMPANIO RESTHAVl uKANf 1 1 RONZE MARKER.

Nikki Lanford About her friend Nina Harris It was that soft voice that fooled people, Lanford said. During the 1970s, when Harris was working on her doctorate in psychology at Arizona State University, an adviser told her she sounded like a little girl. He suggested she try Toastmasters. She complied. Not as a means to alter her tone, but to build her confidence.

Bill Hamilton, a fellow member of the Park Central chapter of Toastmasters in Phoenix, recalls one of her first speeches. "She was so soft-spoken, but she didn't turn the audience off. An evaluator of her icebreaker (speech) said, 'You might have a mouselike voice, but I bet you'll be the mouse that We all got a laugh." Harris' pitch would never waiver. She went on to win several Toastmaster awards. Many of her speeches touched on feminist ideals, a passion she carried into the classroom.

During the 1970s, she began teaching in the Maricopa Community College District. Women flocked to the sessions, searching out help to eliminate self-defeating behavior or find out ways to build their self-esteem. After about 30 years of serving as an adjunct faculty member, Phoenix College made her a permanent faculty member in 1999. Macias, her boss, said Harris bent over backward to help students with financial or child care problems. She'd slip them a bus pass or encourage them to bring children to counseling visits.

Harris would then hand out crayons and paper. "After they left, she put up the art. It filled her office," Macias said. Maria Olivas, who works in the admissions office at Phoenix College, said Harris helped her get past lingering grief. Olivas, 37, lost her mother when she was 17.

"Nina helped me understand that how I was dealing with the loss was impairing my life. She helped me talk and open up." Harris was kind but held firm as that steel magnolia. "She told me to face reality," Olivas said. "In just that quiet little voice." is survived by her mother, Gloria Thomasson; brothers Bill, John and Jim Thomasson; aunts, uncles and cousins.
