Nella Fermi Weiner, 64, an artist, teacher, educational psychologist and financial planner, was the daughter of Nobel Prize physicist Enrico Fermi and author and environmentalist Laura Fermi.
A resident of the Hyde Park neighborhood, Mrs. Weiner died Tuesday at home.
Born in Italy, the family fled that country in 1938 when Enrico Fermi went to Stockholm to be awarded the Nobel Prize in physics. She attended the University of Chicago Lab School and then a school in Los Alamos, N.M., along with the children of other scientists working on the Manhattan Project.
Mrs. Weiner earned a bachelor's degree from the U. of C. in 1947, a master's in fine arts from the University of Iowa and a doctorate in educational psychology from U. of C. in 1981.
She taught art, organized the crafts program and developed a course on women's studies at the lab school.
In recent years, Mrs. Weiner became a certified financial planner and had her own business as a family financial planner.
Survivors include a daughter, Alice Caton; a son, Paul; and two grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at noon March 11 in Bond Chapel, Swift Hall, 1025 E. 58th St.
