Elsia, affectionately known as Nancy, was born December 29, 1943 in Forrest City, Arkansas to the late Mr. and Mrs. McKinley (Willie Mae) Jones.

Her love for GOD began as a young girl. The light of Jesus continued to show in the life she lived in front of friends, family and coworkers. She loved working with the youth as the head of the youth choir department. God gifted her with a passion for the youth and that gift was visibly present to her nieces, nephews and neighborhood kids. God also gifted her with the love for people. That love was displayed at every place she ever worked.

When it comes to family and friends, Nancy was always the life of the party. Family and friends loved gathering at her house any time they wanted a good cooked meal, some laughter and fun that seem to never end.

She was preceded in death by her late husband Jack Massey, her daughter Willie Mae Jones II, three brothers: Overtis Jones, Robert Jones, Rochester Jones and two sisters: Gloria Jones and Henrietta Malone.

She leaves to carry her legacy of love her son Derrick (Benecia) Massey of Carrollton, TX, daughter Shanite (Jamarau) Rolfe of Fort Worth, TX, aunt Ardenia Haggins of Forrest City, AR, three brothers: Mckinley (Clara) Jones of Memphis, TN, L.C. Jones of Chicago, IL, Floyd (Lucille) Jones of Conway, AR, three sisters: Carrie Fleming of Minneapolis, MN, Helena Montana and Barbara Brooks of Maywood, IL, 11 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews and loved ones.
