Ms. Nellie Hackney's Obituary
Born on May 11, 1931 in Cedar Hill, Tennessee, she passed away 85 years later surrounded by her loved ones, on a Friday night with a full moon, on June 17, 2016. Our mother was a micro manager mother who loved to manage our lives. She had a great sense of humor that could come out at the most inappropriate times. She was a beautiful woman who took great pride in her appearance. She was an amazing portrait artist, wonderful seamstress, great cook, played the guitar and sung, and loved to dance in her younger years. She had a deep love and respect for her husband and our Dad of over 50 years, R.L. Hackney. Mom was preceded in death by her husband, R.L. Hackney, Parents, George and Maggie Hall, Brother, Bailey Hall, Sisters; Josie Hall, Gracie Hall, Annie Calvert, Mary Ellen Carlin and Frankie Paine. She is survived by her devoted Daughters, Glenda (Kelly) Kheshti, Sandra Hackney Andrews (Bruce) and Son, Mark Hackney. Loving grandchildren Bryan Franks, Lee Swift (Angela) and Ryan Swift (Amanda). Great Grandchildren Jada Swift, Kaleigh Swift, Ashlee Swift and Alexander Swift. She also had many loving nephews and nieces. We find great comfort in knowing that she is in Heaven now without pain enjoying her time with Daddy.
