Nancy Knight Thompson Griffin, age 91, passed away peacefully on September 20, 2024, at The Journey in Claxton, Georgia. Born on December 1, 1932, in Glennville, Georgia, to Otis and Elizabeth Branham Knight, Nancy was a lifelong resident of Glennville and deeply rooted in her family and faith.

Known for her patient and kind demeanor, Nancy dedicated her life to nurturing her family. She took great pride in cooking for her loved ones, particularly at Thanksgiving, where she would prepare a feast with all the trimmings. It was a tradition for her to wait to eat until everyone else had filled their plates to enjoy her cooking, finding joy in the smiles of those she served.

Nancy had a multitude of interests that showcased her talents and love for family. She delighted in sewing, creating beautiful clothing for her children and grandchildren, weaving memories into every stitch. Her culinary skills were matched only by her faith, where she was a lifetime member of Hopewell Methodist Church and enjoyed attending the United Methodist Ladies Circle Meetings.

Her proudest accomplishments were undoubtedly her family, who will carry her legacy forward. Nancy's unwavering support and generous spirit touched the lives of all who knew her, always ready to lend a helping hand or share a kind word.
