Nancy Margaret (Lewis) Jones

Nancy was born and raised in Bridgeton, North Carolina, and was the oldest of 8 siblings. After her mother’s sudden passing, she cared for a couple of her siblings and made sure they went to school.

In earlier years, she attended Bridgeton Elementary School from Elementary through high school, and worked in the cafeteria after school for extra money. Growing up, she loved spending time with her Grandmama “Donnie”, and spending many nights with her. She married her husband Sebert and they were married for thirty-eight wonderful years. In later years, she worked as a private care, in-home nurse for elderly patients with dementia, and was well loved for her dedication and compassion for them. She was a member of Bridgeton P.H. Church for many years, and loved being with her church family. She was well known for her great southern cooking and loved making big meals for her family & friends. In most recent years, she enjoyed being with all of her grandkids and great-grandkids. Taking pictures and playing games with them. She will always be remembered for her big smile, and her kind & gentle spirit. We will miss her oh so much. But we part only to meet again on that beautiful shore…In the sweet-sweet by and by.
