Nancy Jones Watts

August 3, 2020

CHARLOTTE – Nancy Watts died on August 3, 2020. She was a devoted daughter, wife, sister, mother and friend to many during her 84 years. She is survived by her beloved husband, Danny, her sister, Frances, daughters Langley (Eddie) and Mimi (Hermes) and her son Bubba (Leslie) and also by all her beautiful grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, and by her brother Bobby and sister Dorothy.

Nancy was known for her wit, sarcasm and vivaciousness; to know Nancy a little was to know her a lot.
