Nancy Jones, the widow of George Jones, is reaching out to the public for prayers and support for her daughter, Adina, who was involved in a traumatic lawn mower accident. Nancy took to George’s official Facebook page to share this request, hoping to find solace and strength in these challenging times.
Nancy provided an update on Adina’s condition, sharing the treatment she has received, including surgery:
“On September 28th, Adina had surgery to thoroughly clean the wound. Unfortunately, she has lost her heel bone and pad. Tomorrow, we will meet with the surgeon to discuss Adina’s options in more detail.”
What’s next for Adina?
Nancy outlined the two options currently being considered by Adina:
“Option 1: Adina can undergo multiple surgeries to rebuild her heel using tissue from other parts of her body. However, due to the extent of the damage and missing parts, she may not be able to walk on it again.
Option 2: Adina can explore the option of amputation and learning to walk with a prosthetic foot.”
Nancy concluded her post with a heartfelt plea:
“Please keep my sweet baby girl in your prayers. We are in desperate need of all the support we can get.”
The response from the community has been overwhelming, with over two thousand people offering their well-wishes and messages of support.
The inspiring love story of George and Nancy Jones
In 1983, George Jones married Nancy Sepulvado, forever changing the course of his life and career. The impact Nancy had on George was immeasurable. In his 1996 autobiography, “I Lived to Tell it All,” George expressed his gratitude for Nancy’s love and how she saved him:
“I fell harder for Nancy Sepulvado than any teenage boy ever could for a girl. Little did I know that when I met my future wife on a blind date in November 1981, she would become my savior… Love has the power to change the world, and it changed me. Despite numerous attempts by friends, family, doctors, therapists, and ministers, no one could save me. But the power of love from Nancy Jones made all the difference.”
George and Nancy had an incredible 30-year marriage that lasted until his passing in 2013 at the age of 81. Nancy cherishes their final words, sharing a touching conversation with The Tennessean:
“George said, ‘Well, hello there.’ He said, ‘I’ve been looking for you.’ He said, ‘My name’s George Jones.’ And then he was gone. He closed his eyes, and that was the end of it.”
