Nancy Jean (Moore) Newsome

On Thursday morning, November 9, 2023, Nancy Jean Moore Newsome, 87, passed away peacefully into Heaven while at her home.

Nancy was born, the only child to the late Gray and Flossie Moore in Forsyth County.

Nancy was a faithful member of Antioch United Methodist Church. She enjoyed cooking for her family, spending summers at White Lake, and her cats, Gray bo, and Freckles. She attended Rural Hall and Old Richmond Schools, where she met the love of her life, Louis Hamilton Newsome, who loved her so much that when he graduated, he took a job as her school bus driver for her final year of school, to be near her.  They married June 18, 1955, and together they built a life of love.

Left to cherish her memories are her son, Dexter Newsome; daughter, Joyce Shaw (James); four granddaughters: LaDonna Brown, Jessica Asbury (Jamie), Monica Bartle (Shannon), Carly Maurer (Mike); and her “greats”: Lillie, Lyndsay, Cheslee, Jenna, Jada, Rayann, Emmalee, Brantlee, Leevi, Seraphina, Madison, Jon Michael, Hunter, and Paislee.

She was an amazing Nanny to her family, friends, and everyone she met.

Services to celebrate her amazing life will be held at 3:00 PM on Sunday, November 12, 2023, at Antioch United Methodist Church with Pastor Pat Dixon officiating. Interment will follow at the church cemetery. The family will receive friends and loved ones from 2:00 PM until 3:00 PM, prior to the service, in the sanctuary.

Memorials may be made to Antioch United Methodist Church 9220 Antioch Church Rd. Rural Hall, NC 27045.
