Charleston - Nancy Estes Cobb Lilly left this life for the next at noon on Sunday, January 18, 2026 as church bells rang outside her window. Nancy was born on September 17, 1930, the daughter of Emma Belle Estes and Collier Cobb, Jr.
She grew up in the then small town...
Read MoreI had the pleasure of working at Gunston Hall Plantation with Nancy on different committees. She was always full of solutions and a "can do" attitude. A great sense of humor as well. My sincere condolences to her family- she was a light in the world!

Nancy was a friend to my mother, and they both loved the San Facon Book Club. She nudged me to attend Randolph Macon (Woman´s) College for which I am very grateful. She was a super-accomplished person who was also friendly and caring. Sympathy to her family.

I attended an event at the NC Governor´s mansion back in the late 1980s and was talking to Ms Lilly. A piece of food fell from my small plate onto the floor. Ms Lilly looked down and said that was the best part of oriental rugs...everything blends right in. She was a great woman. That story still makes me smile.
