Sis was born on December 26, 1926, in El Paso, Texas, to J. Walker and Emilie Gatling Morrow. She married William "Bill" B. Hardie, Sr., on January 4, 1947. She was a loving, generous mother to their children, Bill Hardie Jr. (Jane), Emilie Bolton (Mike), and Leigh Broadway (John), and a great "Mimi" to her grandchildren, Allison Knaupe (Gregg), Brooke Hardie, Bradford Hardie (Afra), Stephanie Bolton, Hardie Bolton (Hayley), Johnathan Broadway, and Christopher Broadway (Jenn). Sis was proud to have seven beautiful great-grandchildren - Ely, Ben, Adele, Bradford, Gentry, Ruby, Loretta, and Jake.
Sis was a member of St. Clements Episcopal Church and the Junior League. She supported many El Paso organizations, including the Symphony Orchestra, the Museum of Art, and the Sun Bowl Association. She was an avid golf and tennis player winning many tournaments with her lifelong friends. Sis was an accomplished contract bridge player and, after Bill's death, spent many happy years playing with her many friends and long-time bridge partner and friend, Rex Glimp.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 49 years, Bill, her parents, her sisters, Louise Smith and Virginia Ford, and her brother, Bill Morrow.
