Nancy Shively Jefferson, of Hubert, North Carolina formerly of Bassett, passed away peacefully on September 7, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, devotion, and cherished memories that will remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
Nancy was born on November 13, 1962, to the late David Henderson Shively Sr. and JoAnn Ingram Shively and friend Harold Wright. She was a loving wife, devoted mother and grandmother, and a treasured sister and friend. Nancy found her greatest joy in the time she spent with her family, especially her daughter, Amanda, and her beloved granddaughter, Addison. The memories they made together will be treasured forever.
Nancy was united in marriage to her loving husband, Ronnie Jefferson, and together they shared 28 years filled with love, companionship, and countless memories. Her family was the center of her world, and she cherished every opportunity to be surrounded by those she loved.
In addition to her parents, Nancy was preceded in death by her brothers, Samuel “Sammy” Shively and David Shively Jr.; her mother-in-law, Allie Mae Rorrer; her stepmother, Nancy T. Shively; and her brother-in-law, David Fulton, sister-in-law Cynthia Shively.
Left to cherish Nancy’s memory is her devoted husband of 28 years, Ronnie Jefferson; her daughter, Amanda Blevins; her stepson, Danny Jefferson; and her beloved granddaughter, Addison Jones. She is also survived by her sisters, Sherry Fulton and Elizabeth “Liz” Shively (Darryl); stepsisters, Deena Whitlow (Bill) and Renee Fulcher (Jeff); stepbrother, Ricky Handy; along with several special nieces and nephews who held a special place in her heart.
Nancy had a warm and loving spirit and took great pleasure in the simple moments that made life special. She especially enjoyed spending time with her daughter and granddaughter, creating memories that her family will carry with them for years to come. She was also an enthusiastic fan of the North Carolina Tar Heels and enjoyed cheering them on whenever she could.
Nancy will be remembered for the love she gave so freely, the devotion she had to her family, and the special place she held in the lives of those fortunate enough to know her. Though she will be deeply missed, her memory will live on through her husband, children, granddaughter, sisters, extended family, and all those whose lives she touched.
Her life was a gift, her love was a blessing, and her memory will forever remain in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
