Barbara Ann Hashaw, lovingly known as “Nana” to her grand- and great-grandchildren, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours on her birthday, June 1, 2025 surrounded by the love of her family and friends.
Barbara was born on June 1, 1938 in Batson, Texas, the precocious youngest daughter of Jay and Flora Hill. She married Felix Enos (F.E.) Hashaw on October 26, 1956 and together they built a beautiful life filled with love and a deep commitment to faith and family. They had 4 children: Micheal, Randal, Dianna, and James (Jimmy). Barbara worked in the West Hardin School library loving on kids for over 30 years before she retired! She and F.E. were married 51 years before he passed away in 2007.
Barbara was a sweet, patient soul with just enough sass and mischief to make her interesting! She loved playing games, solving puzzles and word searches, and getting back rubs. Her humor and good nature made her beloved by anyone who ever met her. She absolutely loved being a Mom and Nana and doted on her 15 grand- and 31 great-grandchildren!
Barbara is survived by her two sons, Micheal Hashaw (wife Annette) and Randal Hashaw (wife Linda), her daughter Dianna Martin (husband Bobby), and her sister Marilyn Folks (husband Frank), as well as those 15 grands- and 31 great-grandchildren. They are her legacy, and she could not have been any prouder of them.
She is preceded in death and welcomed home by her parents Jay and Flora Hill, beloved husband Felix Enos Hashaw, son Jimmy Hashaw, sister Janis Holmes (husband Billy), and great-grandsons Kai Williams and Ian Hashaw.
