ANDOVER, NH - Wenona Michelle Harding Loveless, 56, of 19 Last Road, died Saturday, January 16, 2016 at home. She was born Jan 31, 1959 in New London, NH, daughter of the late Wayne G. Harding and Nancy S. vonDreden.
"Wendy" was a life-long resident of Andover and graduated from Proctor Academy in 1976. She worked as a child care provider in her home for several years and the hot lunch program at Andover Elementary School, leaving to start her own cleaning business serving several homeowners in the local area before she retired.
She was an accomplished horsewoman from the age of 11, at one time owned five horses with her father, and rode many times on her Palomino "Taffy Candy" in the Andover Fourth of July parades. Her love of animals was evident by her horses, many cats and dogs over the years, and a great fondness for her "grand-dogs".

Loveless of Derry, NH; a sister, Sandra N. Harding and nephew Courtney J. Harding-Smith, both of Derry; and several cousins.
