Nancy Jean Jeffries Whitmore

Nancy Jean Jeffries Whitmore was born in Burlington North Carolina.
She was the third child of six, born of the late Bennie Lee and Millie Pat Jeffries. She moved to Norwalk, Connecticut to marry Clyde H. Whitmore Sr.
She spent 40 years working for Sears RoebuckCompany. Her main focus was raising her fourchildren; following her sons to many basketball games and practices and trying to find something for her daughter to do besides sit on the phone or watch TV.
Nancy was raised Baptist in North Carolina. When her oldest son Clyde Jr decided to coach the recreational basketball team for the First Congregational Church on the Green, he was required to attend worship on Sundays. She decided to attend as well. Nancy has been involved with the church ever since, serving as a Deacon and for many years as an usher.
When her grandchildren started arriving she jumped in again helping to raise them and definitely spoiling each of them, those in Norwalk and Maryland as well. She always wanted to see them. And as they got older she was still interested in where they were and what they were doing with their lives.
Nancy leaves to cherish her memories her daughter Denise W. Jenkins (Raymond), her son Harold B. Whitmore (Darleen), daughter-in law Cynthia Carter Whitmore, special family member Tanya Bailey, sisters Jessie Mae Graves, Joanne Jeffries Davis, her only remaining sister-in-law, Clara V. Burnette, her beloved nieces Carmelita and Heather Gilliam, 21 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, many cherished nieces and nephews, extended family and life long friends.
