Jill D Mathews

She baby sat for many of her lifetime friends, neighbors, nieces, and nephews. She was a die hard race fan. She loved NASCAR, and local short track racing. Among her favorites included our very own hometown Harry Gant, Dale Earnhardt, Dale Jr., Johnny Chapman, Mitch Walker, and Annabeth Barnes. Jill’s hobbies included being an avid Duke Basketball fan, Atlanta Braves, and Miami Dolphin fan, and she loved shopping.
