Nancy Copeland

Bone

On November 13, 2026, Nancy Copeland Bone, affectionately known as MawMaw, went home to be with her Lord and Savior.

The graveside service honoring her life will be held at 1 PM, Sunday, November 15, 2026, at the Preston City Cemetery.  The family will greet friends following the service.

Born on June 22, 1946, in Macon, Georgia, she was the daughter of Rosa Hancock Copeland and William Reid Copeland.  She graduated from Americus High School in 1964 and went on to dedicate 30 years  of service to the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services (DFACS).  She retired as a Caseworker Supervisor, serving Stewart, Quitman, and Clay counties.  Through her years of service, she touched many lives and made a lasting difference in her community.

One of the greatest blessings of her life was her family.  She was married to her beloved husband, Harold  L. Bone for 59 years, building a lifetime of memories, love, and devotion together.

She leaves behind a loving family who will forever cherish her memory; her husband, Harold L. Bone of Richland, Georgia; her son and daughter-in-law, Greg and Shana Bone of Cataula, Georgia; and her daughter and son-in-law, Diane and Wade Law of Americus, Georgia.

Her legacy continues through her grandchildren and their spouses: Garrison and Allie Bone of Virginia, Katelyn and Chase Bryan and great grandson Lawson Chase of Athens, Georgia, and Wade and Caroline Law of Mt. Park, Georgia, Max and Taylor Hewitt and Samuel, Beau and Mackie James of Columbus, Georgia.

Though her family will deeply miss her presence, they find comfort in knowing that her earthly journey has ended, but her eternal life has begun.  The love she gave, the memories she created, and the legacy she leaves behind will live on through the generations who were blessed to call her theirs.

In lieu of flowers, the family request that memorial contributions be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital at 501 St.Jude Place, Memphis, TN, 38105.

Greg Hancock Funeral Chapel is honored to serve the Bone family.
