Nancy was born in West Point, December 16, 1933 to James Howell Barrow and Ruth Crawley Barrow. Nancy was married to Robert J. Hill Sr. Nancy had three children Robert J. Hill Jr. (Susan), James Walter (Bubba) Hill (predeceased) and Mary Anne Hoke (Andrew). Nancy had four grandchildren, Allison Hill Ricketts (David), Andrew Robert Hill, James Frederick Hill and Henry Charles Hill. Nancy had 2 great grandchildren Ellie Ricketts and Mia Ricketts.
Nancy loved West Point as much as she loved life. She proudly claimed West Point as home, frequently extolling the virtues of her town. She and her son Bubba owned the Read and Swap used book store.
Nannie, as she was lovingly known, fiercely loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who could do no wrong in her eyes. She was their cheerleader to the end. Nancy was a very social and outgoing person, calling everyone “sugar”. She was hopelessly optimistic. Nancy did not judge others and taught her children the Golden Rule, treat people the way you would want to be treated. When hearing of some act of meanness, she frequently would say it is not right to do other people that way. Nannie was tough as nails, friendly as a puppy and nice as the day was long. Nancy was a joy to be around.
In honor of Nancy smile and be kind to one another. Accept people the way they are and be nice. That is what she would want.
No flowers please, any gift should be directed to the Methodist church in her honor.

I was fortunate growing up to have Aunt Nancy, Mama Ruth, and Bubba allliving next to Grandmama when I was growing up. I was always welcome and loved when I was at their house, and it was a wonderful place to be. I am heartbroken that I won't be able to get off work for the service, but know that you will all be in my thoughts and prayers. I think of you so often and would love to see you.
