Nancy June Deck Jones, age 78, of Forest City, passed away Thursday, August 28, 2025 at the Hospice of the Carolina Foothills.

Nancy was born Monday, April 7, 1947, in Bellville, Illinois. She was a daughter of the late Millard and Ruth Deck.

Nancy loved thrift shopping, watching daytime television, especially “Lets Make a Deal” and “The Price is Right.” She loved her family more than anything and always had an unconditional love for people, no matter what the circumstances.
