Nancy Jill Burkes, also known to family and friends as Jill, passed away on August 24, 2025 in Little Rock, Arkansas at the age of 69, in the presence of her loved ones.

She was born on January 15, 1956 in Floydada, Texas, where she was also raised. Jill had a deep love for caring for her dogs, cats and plants and was known for her talent in the kitchen as an excellent cook. She enjoyed bird watching, cherished time with her family and friends and was rarely without a Coca-Cola nearby.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her siblings, Randie Horn, Johnny Hicks and Jackie Sayles and her beloved son, Michael Shane Burkes, who passed in 2016.

She is survived by her grandchildren, Katie Ameen, Emma Sessler, Maddie Ameen as well as her niece, Stephanie McWilliams and nephew, Robert McWilliams.

Jill's kindness, warmth and love for her family and animals will be fondly remembered. She will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by those who knew her.

A small private service will be held later in the year for close family and friends.
