Nell Barnhill, 87, of Chinquapin, left this earth to be with her Savior on Good Friday, March 29, 2024.

She was born May 24,1936 to the late Benjamin and Mary Dixon of Rose Hill, NC. She was one of 10 children and preceded in death by her brothers: Pete Dixon, Leroy Dixon, and her sisters, Virginia Long, Flavi Albertson, Adell Culbreth, Gladys Hope, and Edna Dixon. Her remaining siblings on the earth are her loving brother Jimmy Dixon and sister Judy Dixon.

She was married to the love of her life, Elgin Barnhill (Joe) for over 71 years. Their love for each other is only read about in fairytales. She was devoted deeply to him and their four children, Jody, Tana, Cyndi, and Jay. She loved them with all her heart and her children were blessed to have been raised by one of the most kind, beautiful, and caring mothers on earth.

She believed in the Lord Jesus with all her heart and was a devoted servant to him. She was a member of the Sharon Baptist Church in Chinquapin. She loved her church family dearly. She loved all her extended family and welcomed them all in her home and heart.

Her love and compassion will live forever through all the loves she has touched on this earth and her spirit will never be forgotten. God truly gained an Angel. "Well done my good and faithful servant, well done".
