Nancy Louise Petit Masters

Nancy was born in Pickens, SC on December 5, 1943 to the late Arthur and Ira Gilstrap Petit. She was one of the most generous, caring people who had an infectious smile and an outgoing personality. She always enjoyed having fun and sharing laughter with her family and friends. A woman who truly never met a stranger, she went to work for Hillcrest Memorial Park in Pickens where she became one of the faces of the cemetery and enveloped herself in the community as a family service counselor. In her free time, Nancy enjoyed cooking, canning food, and showing off her "green thumb" in her gardens. She loved her Lord and Savior and was a prayer warrior. Nancy also loved her church, the Pickens Church of God, where she was a member.

Nancy is survived by her two children: Samuel J. Masters, Jr. (Rebecca) of Raleigh, NC and Tracy M. Armstrong (Larry) of Lyman; five granddaughters: Kayla, Jamie, Marguerite, Sophia, and Naomi Masters; and one sister: Shirley Petit Massey.

In addition to her parents, Nancy was preceded in death by six siblings: A.J. "Sonnie" Petit, Alberta Stephens, Dixie Nix, Robert Petit, Clannie Petit, and Patricia McAlister.

Funeral services will be conducted at 3:00 PM on Sunday, February 13, 2022 in the Chapel of Dillard Funeral Home with her son-in-law, Rev. Larry Armstrong, and the Rev. Chris Swett officiating. The family will greet friends following the services in the Chapel. Entombment will be at Hillcrest Memorial Park.

The family will be at their respective homes.
