Vanessa Hilsman Feller, of Winnsboro, SC, passed away on March 20, 2023. She was born in Augusta, Georgia on September 13, 1966. Vanessa was the daughter of Dr. Agnew Hodge Hilsman III and Phoebe Lou Ann Clamp.
“I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up” was a repeated phrase she would say throughout her life, but to her friends and family she was talented, vibrant, beautiful, theatrical and funny. She could make anyone laugh at the most inappropriate of times. She was an artist, photographer, singer, gymnast, writer, wife, mother, daughter, sister, cousin and friend to many.
She is survived by her two daughters, Dylan Hilsman Agardy, Phoebe Caroline Agardy; stepdaughters, Jessica Lauren Feller and Joanna Michelle Jones; her brother, Van Bowling Elliott III and sister, Andrea Hilsman Ryan. Predeceased by her late husband, Dr. Mitchell D. Feller.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date to be determined.
