Nancy Carol (Griffin) McMillen, 70, of Bartlett, TX, finished her journey on this earth and went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on Monday, August 15, 2022. Nancy was born in Temple, Texas, on her mother's birthday, October 16, in 1951, to the late Marvin and Lydia (Pate) Griffin.
She graduated from Bartlett High School and continued on to receive a dental assisting certification from a Houston dental school. Later she earned her LVN and then her RN and worked as a nurse at Kings' Daughters and Scott and White Hospitals in Temple. During her long nursing career she also worked in home health care, in several nursing facilities, and at the Bell County Jail. Nancy was a strong advocate for her patients, always focusing on the best possible care that could be provided for them.
Nancy's favorite hobby was jewelry making, of which she had extensive knowledge. Nancy was talented and creative in design as well, entering clothing competitions in high school and even making her sister's wedding dress. Also, Nancy created the most beautiful and delicious cakes for all occasions, enjoyed by family and friends. She had a real gift of knowing how to lift someone's spirits with a gift she thought they would enjoy. Generosity was one of her best qualities. When she built her house across the street from her parents, she designed it with a bedroom and bath for them with handicap access if they should ever need to live with her. Nancy adored her nephew and niece and spoiled them as much as possible, loving them as if they were her own. Nancy was a lifelong member of the First Baptist Church of Bartlett and was active as long as her health allowed.
Nancy is survived by her two sisters, Susan Titsworth of Bartlett and Kay Martin (Fred) of Georgetown, niece Christy Martin of College Station, TX, and great niece, Anna Cox (Reid) of Aurora, CO, and many wonderful cousins.
Nancy is preceded in death by her parents, Marvin and Lydia Griffin, brother-in-law, Jim Titsworth, and nephew, John David Martin.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday August 20, 2022, at 2 pm at Goodnight Funeral Home in Bartlett, TX. Services will be officiated by Tim Titsworth. Burial will follow at Land Cemetery in Jarrell.
In lieu of flowers, the family wishes that you consider making a memorial donation in Nancy's name to TEXAS BAPTIST CHILDREN'S HOME, c/o Children at Heart Ministries, 1301 N. Mays St., Round Rock, TX 78664-2945.
