Crystal DePietro, executive director of
Connections, says Lucy was one of the first
to envision what the agency could become.
"Her support and selfless service on our
board were and remain essential to the health
of our agency and to our ability to intervene
in the lives of so many women and children.
Every woman and child that has come
through our agency has been touched by her
kindness and generosity," DePietro says.
Other area nonprofit leaders also sang
their praises, including Sabrina Brooks,
vice president of Cape Fear Valley Health
Foundation; Roberta Humphries, executive
director of the Child Advocacy Center; and
Amy Navejas, executive director and CEO of
the local United Way.
"Our community is a stronger place
because of the Jones family," Navejas says.
Wes retired from private practice in June
2020. In the next stage of their lives, Lucy

time with their three children and six
grandchildren.

a dentist in Gastonia. Middle child Jordan is
an urban planner and developer in Durham.
