Jane Hunter Barnhill

Jane Hunter Harris Barnhill, 52, of Clemmons, went home to be with the Lord on September 1st, 2021, following a seven-and-a-half-year long battle with Ovarian Cancer. She passed away peacefully at her home, surrounded by the love of her family and close friends.

She was born August 14th, 1969 in Union County, SC, daughter of the late Hunter Sells Harris Jr. and the late Anna Ruth Roberts Harris.

She graduated from Clemson University where she received her Bachelors of Science in Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Management in 1991. She was a devout tiger football fan and is known for her tailgates. Jane worked at Clemmons Moravian Church Preschool for many years before her illness began. It suited her Servant’s heart and her love for children and people. She was also extremely involved in her children’s sports and school activities and was always present at each and every game or activity. Jane was a light in every sense of the word and had the ability to make anyone laugh or smile. She loved her family hard and they were her entire world.

She is survived by her husband of 30 years, Mark Barnhill, and her children, Nancy Hunter Barnhill Sparks (husband Josh Sparks) and Preston Barnhill, all of Clemmons, and their beloved Yorkie, Mack, and grand dogs, Tilly and Bowman. She is also survived by her brother, Hunter Harris (wife Perry Harris) of Summerville; nieces, Ana Hill (husband Jade Hill) of Summerville and Jane Palmer Northrop (husband Parker Northrop) of Washington State. Loving Mother-in-Law, Shelba Barnhill (wife of the late Conrad Barnhill) of Gaffney, SC; sister-in-law, Lisa Barnhill Philips (husband Robert Philips); brother-in-law, Kristopher Conrad “KC” Barnhill (wife April Barnhill); nieces and nephews, Will Philips, Charlie Barnhill, Conrad Barnhill, and Collin Barnhill, all of Gaffney, SC, and many other loving family and friends who know how special they are to her. The family would like to thank the Novant Health Derrick L. Davis Cancer Institute and Trellis Supportive Care for their excellent care and kindness throughout the years of Jane’s fight.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, September 11 at 3PM at Frank Vogler & Sons in Clemmons.
