Published by Richmond Times-Dispatch on Sep. 18, 2012.
NICELY. Born July 14, 1941 in Doswell, Barbara Jean Samuel, turned out "Nicely" on May 16, 1964, when she wed Frazier Wayne Nicely at Taylorsville Baptist Church. On Monday, September 17, 2012, Barbara S. Nicely ("Bobbie," "Nannie") lost a determined battle with brain cancer and fell asleep in the Lord. Surviving are her husband of 48 years, Wayne Nicely of Doswell; children, Leah Nicely Ashworth (Randy), Bubba Nicely (Kathy) and Sue Nicely (boyfriend, Johnny Collins), all of Mechanicsville; grandchildren, Renee "Princess" Ashworth (fianc‚ Lt. Garrett Evans), Hunter "Buddy" Ashworth, Cole Nicely and Samuel Nicely; brothers, Dougie Samuel (Ann Marie), Larry Samuel (Barbara) and Dennis Samuel (Debbie); aunt, Joyce Hall; sisters-in-law, Faye Kilbourn (Herb) and Faye Nicely; and a number of nieces and nephews. Her love was their home and friends on the Cowpasture River in Clifton Forge "Nicelytown" in the beautiful mountains of Alleghany County, Va. Visitation will be held Tuesday, September 18, 2012 from 2 to 8 p.m. at Nelsen Funeral Home, Reid Chapel, 412 S. Washington Hwy., Ashland. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, September 19 at 2 p.m. at Taylorsville Baptist Church, 15415 Taylorsville Rd., Doswell, with interment to follow in the church cemetery. As her passion was her flowers, memorial donations are not requested. In lieu of flowers, however, the family recommends American Cancer Society for memorial donations.

Dear Nicely Family,

While I did not get the pleasure of knowning Ms. Nicely personally, I felt as If I did know her through my friendship over the years with daughter Sue. Her life lives on through the many she touched here on earth and certainly is reflected in the wonderful person that is her daughter, my friend, Sue. I will continue to keep the Nicely family in my thoughts and prayers. I wish there was something more I could do for you all. Much Love and my deepest heartfelt condolences! Barron (friend of Sue Nicely)

To Wayne & Family

Bobbie was my 3rd cousin (our Samuel grandparents were siblings) and I did not know her as well as I should have, but I found her to be one of the kindest and sweetest people I had ever met. How saddened I was to learn of her passing. I know that she was a Christian and lived a beautiful Christain life, so please rejoice that she is with God. I will not be able to attend the service at Taylorsville today, but please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless you and keep you in His care.

Bobbie was one of the sweetest and kindest people I have ever known and she was a living example of a loving Christian wife, mother, daugher, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and friend. I pray that you will all find comfort and peace in the love she had for her precious family.
