Private interment will follow. The family will receive friends at the church one hour prior to the service. Mrs. Still was born February 5, 1939, in Morgan County, GA to the late Addison and Lillie Loggins Hilsman. She spent her early childhood in Atlanta & Madison, and graduated from Williston-Elko in SC. Her children said she was a prayer warrior, intuitive, classy, and never met a stranger. She gave you room to find and be yourself, and she also taught you to be self-sufficient. They all developed a love of music by listening to their mother sing as she worked about the house. She passed her love of reading on to her children and made sure children she knew had books. Always a teacher in spirit, she taught Sunday school from the cradle through senior citizens. Mrs. Still was a Girl Scout leader. She said she wasn’t a writer, she might be a poet, yet she wrote songs, short stories, a few books, but her love was poetry. She would tell you she met a man as a child, who became her first love, and that was Jesus Christ. Mrs. Still tried her best to live her life the way she thought was pleasing to him. She was a member of Warren Belvedere. She married James Still from Barnwell, SC and they were married 61 years before his death in 2017. In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her nephew, Ross Hilsman, brother, Gerald Hilsman, and daughter-in-law, Debbie Still. Survivors include her children; Melodee (Rick) Briggs, Mitch Still, and Misty (Steve) Kilpatrick; grandchildren, Timothy Savoy, Brian Briggs, Stephanie Hutto, Whitney Briggs, Britney Wixson, Steven Kilpatrick, Aubrey Skinner and Rebekah Kilpatrick; great-grandchildren, Darien Dorn, Wyatt Wates, Madison Wates, Levi Briggs, Alden Wixson, Ava Wixson, Anna Briggs, Christopher Briggs and Wren Savoy; sister, Joy Hilsman Thomas.
