Nancy Beth Macon age 97 of Lebanon, died Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 10, 2018 at Quality Care Health Center. Born Jan. 17, 1920, she was the daughter of the late Lillard and Clayra Floyd Oakley and was preceded in death by her husband, John Richard "Dick" Macon in 1988; great grandson, Carl Macon Eubank and a sister, Helen Beard. Most people of Wilson County remember Nancy as Dr. Turner's nurse at McFarland Hospital for 14 years. Earlier she had received a high school diploma from Watertown High School and a nursing degree at the McFarland Hospital's School of Nursing. After Dr. Turner's move to Nashville, Nancy became a secretary/bookkeeper for the Wilson County Road Commission. She retired in 1985. Although, at the death of her husband, a commissioner for Wilson County, Nancy was selected to fill out the remainder of Mr. Macon's term in 1988. But her life of service did not stop. She moved from Commerce to Lebanon where she joined, served and worked with ministry committees at College Hills Church of Christ as a devoted member. As her family grew with grandchildren and great-grandchildren, she loved for them to come an "play" with her. She did find time to travel with her friends on bus trips. Nancy was full of wisdom and was a mentor to all her family. An example of Christian principles and love. She is survived by her children, John Richard Macon, Jr. and his wife, Donna of Lebanon, Linda Beth Evins of Lebanon, Melanee Sullins and her husband, Dr. Jerry Sullins of Hendersonville; grandchildren, Suzanne (Dewayne) Eubank, Leabeth (Steven) Pack, Richie (Gwynne) Macon, Linda Beth Evins, Jay Parkerson, Phil (Tracy) Parkerson, Dr. Shea (Andrea) Sullins, Stacey (Dr. Brad) Greives; 12 great grandchildren; sister, Dorothy Bryan of Maryland. The family would like to applaud the caretaker's at Quality Nursing Home, who wonderfully watched over Nancy in these last 5 years. Thank you to all the visitors who passed their time with her. A memorial service to celebrate Nancy's life will be announced at a later date.
