Nigel grew up in Muskogee, OK and attended the University of Oklahoma, where she earned a bachelor's degree and master's degree in Spanish. She married Jerry Barnhill in 1947. They moved to Long Island, New York and raised three children. Nigel taught Spanish to adult education students for many years on Long Island. She was very involved in her church, enjoyed playing bridge throughout her adult life, and traveled the world with her husband. In 2000 Nigel and Jerry moved to Wheaton, where she became very active in the community through Department Club.
