Obituary for Nancy Marjorie Jones: Riverview, Michigan

Nancy Marjorie Jones passes away at 93

Nancy Marjorie Jones, a longtime resident of Riverview, Michigan, died on November 10, 2026, according to a report from Martenson Family of Funeral Homes, Inc.

She was 93 years old at the time of her passing. Born on June 14, 1933, in Detroit, Michigan, Nancy’s life spanned nearly a century of change in the region she called home.

The Martenson Family of Funeral Homes, Inc. noted that Nancy will be remembered for her artistic spirit and her deep devotion to her family.

A life defined by creativity and family

Nancy was known for her hands being rarely still. She found expression through various creative outlets, including watercolor painting, stained glass, and the intricate craft of making Ukrainian Easter eggs.

Her artistic nature extended into her home life through quilting and crocheting, which served as ways to share her care with those around her. She also found joy in gardening.

Family remained the central focus of her life. She was preceded in death by her husband, James Jones, with whom she shared 52 years of marriage. She was also preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Glenna Ford, and her daughter, Susan Elliott, whose late husband was Keith.

Her legacy continues through a large, multi-generational family. She is survived by her children, Michael (Dianne), Karen (John) Boot, Kathryn (Randall) Hollenstine, and Kristin (Michael) Roberts.

The family includes nine grandchildren—Bryan (Kristen), Derek (Meghan), Catelyn (James), Julia, Andrew (Norah), Dane (Kaelyn), Alexander, Nicholas (Danielle), and Eric (Taylor)—and six great-grandchildren: Emily, Ethan, Holden, Penelope, Hayes, and Harrison. She also leaves behind her sister, Janet.
