Nancy Marjorie Jones

Nancy Marjorie Jones, of Riverview, Michigan, passed away on November 10, 2026, at the age of 93. She was born on June 14, 1933, in Detroit, Michigan. Nancy will be remembered as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, friend, and a woman whose artistic spirit brought beauty to the lives of those around her.

Extremely artistic by nature, Nancy found joy and expression in many creative pursuits. She enjoyed watercolor painting, stained glass, and making Ukrainian Easter eggs, and she also loved to garden. Her hands were rarely still, as quilting and crocheting were among the many ways she shared her gifts and care with others. These interests reflected not only her creativity, but also the warmth and thoughtfulness with which she moved through life. Above all, she was devoted to her family, who remained at the center of her heart.

Nancy was preceded in death by her husband, James Jones, with whom she shared 52 years of marriage, by her parents, Frank and Glenna Ford, and her daughter Susan (the late Keith) Elliott.

She leaves behind a loving family who will continue to cherish her memory: her children, Michael (Dianne), Karen (John) Boot, Kathryn (Randall) Hollenstine, and Kristin (Michael) Roberts; her grandchildren, Bryan (Kristen), Derek (Meghan), Catelyn (James), Julia, Andrew (Norah), Dane (Kaelyn), Alexander, Nicholas (Danielle), and Eric (Taylor); her great-grandchildren, Emily, Ethan, Holden, Penelope, Hayes, and Harrison; and her sister, Janet, whose late husband was Bud. In the lives of her children and the generations that followed, Nancy’s love, strength, and creativity will continue to be felt. She gave her family not only her care and devotion, but also the example of a life shaped by love and artistic grace.

Visitation will be held on November 12, 2026, beginning at 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at The Trenton Chapel - Martenson Family Of Funeral Homes, 3200 West Rd, Trenton, MI 48183. A family-led service and sharing will begin at 7:00 p.m. Nancy's interment will be private.

Nancy’s memory will live on in the family she loved so deeply and in the many beautiful things she created throughout her life. She will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered.
