To the family
I had the pleasure of getting to know this family many years ago. Nancy Jo was kind, friendly and always had a smile on her face. She supported the community. She will truly be missed. Prayers go out to the family.
I had a conversation not too long ago with Mrs Nancy Jo. I enjoyed her wit and wisdom very much. We were speaking about a topic that she was very close to and passionate about and she made me realize that it was super important regardless of how busy someone is to take the time and effort to provide the care and give of yourself, regardless of the cost, to do right by people. Prayers for all of the family (especially Morgan, Josh and the girls) and prayers for our fellow Realtors who not only called her Broker, but also friend.
Debbye Harrison January 5, 2021 at 7:28 amScott, so sorry abt your mom. Sweetest and kindest lady I’ve ever known. Hugs to all the family. Lost my mom 3yrs ago. Still haven’t gotten use to her not being here.

Rick and Linda Murphy January 5, 2021 at 8:25 pmCarsey and family, so sorry for your loss. We will miss coming by and talking to you both on the back porch. She was such a wonderful neighbor and a kind and gracious person.
Mary Price Canter Bennett January 5, 2021 at 8:40 pmI remember Nancy Jo on the Gallatin High School Basketball team. I remember her sweet, outgoing personality as long as she lived. When my 21 year old son died in a car wreck, Nancy Jo sent me cards for months afterward, usually one a week. I’ve known her through real estate and admired the devotion her agents had for her. It wasn’t just a successful business, it was a family. Carsey, Cindi, and family I know you will miss her until you see her again. May God comfort you during your time of grief.
Alice Owen Tabor January 5, 2021 at 8:49 pmThere aren't enough words to express how sad I am for this loss to all who knew my loving, kind, and gracious friend. I'm sad as I will never get to see you again on this earth but I will see you in heaven. My prayers are with Carsey and the family.

Lisa (Snow) Carter January 7, 2021 at 6:38 pmWhen someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure. May you treasure all your memories of your Mom. Growing up I considered her like a second mom to me and am very saddened to hear of her passing.
Bonnie Carter January 7, 2021 at 11:04 pm
Nancy Jo was a Classy Southern Lady and Good to the bone. I cherish my memory of our long friendship. She loved the Lord, she loved Carsey and their Family, she loved the whole Community and the whole Community loved her.
Carsey, be strong. May God's Peace and Courage hover over you and Cindy, Mitzi and Scott. Y'all are definitely in my prayers.
So sorry to hear. I was privileged to be her and Carsey’s doctor for a period of time. They were supportive of me despite my hard nosed advice. I am grateful for them both and my condolences are with their loved ones. Nancy will be missed. May her memories be a blessing .

You were a loyal friend and superb businessperson.
Gallatin has truly lost an icon.
Elizabeth Molteni January 17, 2021 at 9:26 pmTo the entire and wonderful Martin family, I would like to extend my sincere condolences and prayers. Nancy Jo was one of my favorite cousins. I looked up to her as I was the youngest of the Ligon cousins. But then later, as I got older, I forgot there was any age difference since she was so beautiful and young looking, vivacious, energetic, happy and so so kind to me. I know she will be missed by many friends and family and will be welcomed in heaven by our wonderful family members who went before her.
Beth Molteni January 17, 2021 at 9:28 pmThe message above is from Beth Ligon Molteni. You may not recognize my name as Elizabeth Molteni.
Bill Kirby March 2, 2021 at 10:52 pmCarsey so sorry to hear about Nancy Jo. She was a dear friend growing up in the our gang era. We were playmates over on Trimble Street. She was an unusual person with a big heart. You guys represent a true love story that's lasted a lifetime. Lot of fond memories she and singlehandedly built an underground tunnel on the property of the Monroe Brooks family.
