On May 25, 1940 God sent to Onnie Spradlin Buchanan this perfect angel.  Tommie Jacqulyn Buchanan was a beautiful baby.  During her early years she was raised by her grandparents, Bura and Orrie Hammond Spradlin in the town of Centralhatchee, Heard County, Georgia.  Jackie, as she was called, attended and became a member of Salem United Methodist Church.  When she became of school age, she attended Centralhatchee School.  Soon it was time for her to move on to high school at Heard County High School where many of her friends attended school with her.  She graduated in 1958, and due to her love of medicine she decided to become a RN.  She took her training at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.  In 1959 she met and married Boyd Oren Hill, who was the first of four husbands.  On August 18, 1959, her first child was born.  On Feburary 28, 1974, her last child was born.  She had given birth in July, 1960 and again in May, 1963.  Life would take her down many different roads and to many different places leading her to settle in Wilmington, North Carolina in 1969.  Here she would make her home and raised her children.  The love of her profession, pathology, lead her to work up to October 31, 2013, when due to declining health, she was forced to retire.  She still remained independent and determined to be the very best she could be.  On April 11, 2014 God said "it's time for my Angel to return home" and that she did leaving behind 3 children, 3 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren to mourn her loss.  As one of her children, my mother befriended anyone who came into her life.  If you were considered her friend, you were fortunate.  She departed her wisdom, her grace, and her dignity to us children, and grandchildren with the hope that her great grandchildren would also have that same wisdom, grace and dignity.  THAT is a promise we will keep to her.  We love her deeply and will miss her more and more as we continue our lives until we to are called home.  What a happy day that will be.
