Nancy Sue Jones

Nancy moved to Washington, D.C. in 1970 and worked for 26 years as a professional staffer (Executive Secretary) to the U.S. House Armed Services Committee. Upon retiring in 1996, she returned to Raleigh to be close to family.

Nancy dearly loved her sister Karen, nephew Chris, and niece Carrie. But if possible, she loved even more her grandnephews Gabe, Andrew, and Owen. Nancy loved bringing family together, especially her cousins, to share family stories, history and good food! Even while battling cancer she arranged a large family reunion!

Nancy was preceded in death by her father Dan Jones, her mother Blanche Jones Yeargin, and stepfather Gibson Yeargin.

Nancy is survived by her sister Karen Yeargin Brewer (Erich) in Raleigh, her nephew Christopher Wayne Lee (Nicole) in Raleigh, and her niece Carrie Lee Vargas (Justin) in Raleigh. She is also survived by her grandnephews Gabe Hopfer, Andrew Lee, and Owen Lee. She leaves behind many cousins who loved her.

A special thanks to the doctors, nurses, and staff at Duke Women’s Cancer Center of Raleigh, and to the caregivers of Transitions Lifecare of Wake County for their wonderful care during her illness.
