Nancy Susan (Wood) Hamlin -“Mimi”, 78 of Munford, Alabama, passed away on May 16, 2026, surrounded by her loved ones. She is survived by her sons, Matt Hamlin (Tia), Mark Hamlin (Christi), and Jon Hamlin (Brandy); grandchildren, Anna Ulm (Robert), Matthew Hamlin, Ariel Hall (Matt), Aidan Hamlin, Savannah Hamlin; great grandchildren, Tanner Ulm, Remington Ulm, Lily Cromer, Nova Hall, and Tatum Hall, and a host of extended family members and friends. She is preceded in death by her parents, Naomi and Frank Wood; husband, Nate Hamlin; brothers, Dan Wood and Mike Wood, and a grandson, Hunter “Bug” Hamlin. Nancy was a teacher – not only by profession, but by the Christlike way she lived every aspect of her life. Through her kindness, compassion, patience, and unwavering faith, she taught others what it meant to love deeply and live faithfully. Nancy believed wholeheartedly in the words of 1 Corinthians 13:13: “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” She embodied that scripture daily, offering love freely to her family, friends, students, and all who had the privilege of knowing her. She was deeply devoted to her faith and lived as a reflection of Gods love to everyone around her. Nancy was a mother to anyone who needed mothering, a faithful prayer warrior, a safe place in times of trouble, and a gentle spirit with the biggest heart. She carried others’ burdens with compassion, celebrated their joys wholeheartedly, and made everyone feel seen, valued and loved. Whether in the classroom, at home, or in her community, Nancy led by example and touched countless lives with her grace, warmth, and servant’s heart. Her presence brought comfort and peace, and her memory will continue to inspire all who knew her. She will be sorely missed and forever cherished. Nancy taught at Drew Middle School for 30 plus years and worshiped at The Harvest Bible Barn. Pallbearers will be Aidan Hamlin, Zane Bright, Brian Hill, Patrick Lackey, Tanner Ulm, and Matthew Hamlin. A funeral service to remember the life of Nancy will be on Friday, May 22, 2026, at 12:00 pm in the chapel at Miller Funeral Home with Bro. Benny Hamlin officiating. A burial will follow the service at Hillcrest Cemetery in Munford. The family will receive friends on the same day from 11:00 am until the time of the service at the funeral home. The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to SouthernCare New Beacon Hospice and her nurse, Jo Watts.
