Nancy Caroline (Dean) Mayott

Nancy Caroline (Dean) Mayott, 84, passed away peacefully on June 23, 2019, in Fredericksburg, Va.

Nancy was born Jan. 31, 1935, in Ithaca, N.Y., the daughter of the late Fredrick and Miriam (Yonkins) Dean. She graduated from Gowanda High School, Gowanda, N.Y., in 1953. She and her husband, Albert J. Mayott were married for 65 years and raised their family in Cassadaga, N.Y., until they retired to Locust Grove, Va.

Nancy was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. Her family includes five children: Stephenie (Terry) Fellinger of Locust Grove, Va., her deceased son, Gregory (Jane) Mayott of Fredericksburg, Va., Michael (Patricia Jo Taylor, deceased) Mayott of Billings Mont., Jacqueline (Danial) DeJoe of St. Louis, Mo., and Scott (Megan) Mayott of Spotsylvania, Va.

Nancy also had 14 grandchildren: Julie (Terrance) Hamlett, Jamie (Jeffrey) Sotzing, Jeanie (Frank) Carr, Jennie (Edward) Whelan IV, Travis Mayott, Spencer Mayott, Todd (Jami) Taylor, Eric (Dana) Taylor, Kimberly (Daniel) Benton, Christopher DeJoe, Amanda (Tiffany) Guillory, Jessica (Isaac) Thompson-Holliday, Courtney Chase, Cassandra Mayott; 15 greatgrandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild. She was survived by her sisters-in-law, June (Mayott) Greathouse of Brocton, N.Y., and Ruth Dean of Fredonia, N.Y.; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Nancy treasured belonging to the Salem Methodist Church and her church family who shared each Sunday with her. She will most be remembered, however, for her love of Christmas and her kindness to everyone. She spent most of her time sharpening her skills in cooking, quilting, golfing, gardening and bowling.

In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by her four brothers: Calvin Dean, Robert Dean and Delbert Dean; and sister, Patricia Dean.

Funeral and committal services will be at Salem Methodist Church, 28123 Constitution Highway, Rhoadesville, VA 22542, at 11 a.m., on Thursday, June 27, 2019. Family and friends may call at the Salem Methodist Church from 10-11 a.m., on June 27.

Arrangements are in care of Johnson Funeral Home & Crematory, Locust Grove, Va.
