Obituary For Constance Jones Milton

Mrs. Constance Jones- Milton, passed away Tuesday, November 1, 2022. Funeral service will be held Tuesday, November 8, 2022 12:30pm Shiloh Baptist Church. 12pm Visitation Burial will follow at Lakeview Memorial Park. Constance Nichole Jones was born on October 27, 1979 in Greensboro, North Carolina, to Earl Alonzo Holman Jones and Mae Waterman Jones. She departed this life on November 1, 2022. Nikki, as she was affectionately known by her family and friends, was the only child born to her parents, but she was sister to Reginald and Deadra, and to her numerous male cousins, because all except one of them had no sister of their own. From early childhood, it was obvious that Nikki was very bright, intelligent and wise beyond her years. She excelled in all she did. Nikki attended and graduated with high marks from Jones Elementary School, Jackson Middle School and James B. Dudley High School Math and Science Academy in Greensboro, North Carolina. While at Dudley Academy, she played the oboe and flute in the marching band and participated in numerous clubs and extracurricular activities including the Greensboro Youth Council and Anytown Summer Youth Leadership Program. During high school, Nikki won first runner-up in the Guilford County Miss Black Teenage World Pageant, where she recited the poem, Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou, to resounding applause. She went on to compete in the Teen Miss North Carolina Pageant at North Carolina A&T State University. She graduated from East Carolina University with a B.S. in Childhood Development & Family Relations and an M.B.A. in Human Resources Management/Personnel Administration from Strayer University. Soon after earning her graduate degree, she began a successful career with the U.S. Federal Government, and was currently working as the Associate Director of Personnel Security Education in the Virginia/D.C. area. As a child, Nikki would sit at her Grandma Mattie’s feet, learning from her…soaking up her love, wisdom, and mannerisms. For many years, Nikki was the only granddaughter, and the grandsons--her cousins--would frequently remind her that “she was grandma’s favorite” because they always got in trouble and she never did! They’ve shared many laughs about how much trouble the boys used to get into. Nikki accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior as a young child, and loved singing with the Busy Bees Children’s choir. Church has always been a huge part of the Waterman family culture. Nikki and the whole family attended church together on Sundays and had family dinner at grandparent’s home right after service. These moments cemented the importance of family gatherings for all the Waterman children and grandchildren. The family was always very close knit, celebrating holidays and special occasions, and vacationing together throughout the years. These family traditions were started by her late grandparents, James and Mattie Waterman, Sr., and were often spearheaded by Uncle Karlie, Nikki and her mom. Nikki especially loved the family vacations and gatherings, and since her grandma’s passing, she took on the responsibility of organizing the family events. Nikki was indeed Grandma Mattie’s second “mini me,” right behind her mom. She made sure each and every great grandchild had a gift for Christmas, and she showered her entire family with her love, devotion, and tokens of affection, including the Waterman Family Calendar she created and gifted each year at Christmas. Nikki, like each member of the Waterman Family, was a servant at heart, always putting others before herself. Nikki married the love of her life, Jerome Milton on April 26, 2014. Nikki and Jerome were a match made in heaven. His calm was matched by her exuberant and outgoing personality. They enjoyed many years together, traveling, loving each other’s company, feasting on her elaborate meals, and raising a family together. From their union was born two beautiful boys, Jerome Levon “J. Levon” Jones Milton II and Jercolby Levon Jones Milton. The boys were her life. She absolutely loved being a mother and was the best mother in the world to them. Nothing was too much for her boys. She lavished her love on them in a way that was admired by family and friends. If you had the privilege of being Nikki’s friend on Facebook, you have probably seen glimpses of those beautiful moments. In addition to her grandparents, James and Mattie Waterman, Sr., and James and Clarice Holman, she was also proceeded in death by her aunt, Margaret Waterman, and uncles, John Waterman (Brenda) and Larry Waterman. Nikki leaves to cherish her memory, loving husband, Jerome Milton; children: Jerome Levon Jones Milton II, Jercolby Levon Jones Milton, Jeron Milton, Zane Milton; mother, Mae Waterman Jones; father, Earl Alonzo Holman Jones (Mary); bother, Reginald L. Cunningham, Jr.; sister, Deadra Vample (Huey); great aunt, Laura Lee Waterman; uncles: James Waterman, Jr. (Elva), Frazier Waterman, Jerome Waterman, David Waterman, Kenny Holman (Stephanie); cousins: Carl Waterman, Sr. (Jenora), Tony McCallum (Kendra), Eric Waterman (Tameka), Damon Fox (Tania), Jemiah Waterman, Latisha Hendricks (Kendale), Tyson Morehead; best friends and Godparents of children: Kevin and Tonette McQueen, Antwone and Vimbai Ethridge, Laconia and Felicia Higgs, Ebony Harper and Glenwood Robinson, Chauncy Watson; good friends from Dudley High School Class of ’98, and a host of cousins, family and friends.

My sincerest condolences to the family during this difficult time. Constance was a lovely person and will be missed!

Condolences from our family to yours. Constance brought bright light to our workplace and was a source of pure joy, especially when we faced any frustration or difficulty. She was calm and cheerful while being sharply focused and extremely professional and respectful. She cared about everyone and she served the nation with grace and dignity. We mourn the loss of this rising leader and wish you all peace and comfort in this time of grief.

We offer our sincerest condolences to Constance's family during this very difficult time. Constance has been my supervisor for years, and in that time, she has been so supportive of everyone on the team. She was never too busy to lend an ear, and she truly showed she cared for all under her wing. As important as her work was, she stressed to us the need to set things aside when appropriate in order to enjoy life and family. Never has that guidance been more fitting than now. Constance, we miss you dearly. With love, David & Maggie Bush and family

Constance was a breath of fresh air at OJP, thank you for your beautiful light.

Psalm 121:1-2 I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help? 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. On behalf of the Abraham family, we would like to extend our sincere condolences and prayers to Mae, Jerome and their family. Our hearts were deeply sadden when we received the news about our cousin Nikki. She touched many lives and will be greatly missed. We will continue to pray for strength and peace that surpasses all understanding. Love always your family in South Carolina.

I've really struggled to find any words. And there are none. Nikki was a testament to love, to God , to divinity. She was pure love and joy! So much joy, which is absolutely no surprise looking at who raised her. Every time I looked at her I saw the faces of my own parents and grandparents reflected back, and the faces of James and Mattie and Mae and David Carl and the whole Waterman family smiling right back at me. It's been hard to describe that Nikki going to be with God is much more than losing a family friend- it's like losing a small piece of all of the people who lived in her again, and too early. It's shattering. I will forever miss bearing witness to her beautiful soul- what a continuation of the ones who came before her! I can't wait to see how it manifests in different ways. Through the legacy of J2 and Coco and Reggie. Through all of you. I love you. I love her, and I will miss her every day.
-Camille Prairie

I knew Constance through the OJP extended family. Constance was a caring presence in our lives for many years; she made an incredible impact on our family and I can only begin to imagine the pain of those who loved her most. My heart breaks for her boys and yet I know they will grow up surrounded by love and wonderful memories of their mom.

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of such a wonderful lady. I wasn't close to her but have known her since Jeron and my son played middle school football together and on Into high school. She was always so polite and kind. I know she will be missed!

My sincere condolences to the Milton Jones family. Constance was such a ray of sunshine who I will miss so much. Such a pleasant person to work with and I will sorely miss her.

Words truly escape me at this time. My heart is broken into pieces. Some people touch you in special ways and Constance Jones Milton (Nikki) as I have always called her, was one of those people. I promised and I promised to come and see her and never did I make it. I honestly have no excuse. We did chat quite a bit about her dinners and I would reach out to her on special days via Facebook Messenger. To her husband and precious sons, her wonderful brother, her loving mother and all her special uncles and cousins. I know that words are the last thing you are wanting to read or hear but honestly from the depth of my heart, I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine. I do want to say that Nikki kept my oldest son a few times for me when he was elementary and she was in High School and I have never forgotten how special she as always been. If anyone knows me I was an over protective mother and still am. I would never leave my children with just anyone. That's should speak volumes about the wonderful woman of God. I have always love you and I will forever love you.
The boys and I extend our heartfelt sympathies to each of you.
Karen, D'Andre and Korey Wright....

Constance was a great coworker and even supported my ministry. Understanding this may be difficult, but Jesus Christ loves each of you and knows how to provide just the comfort needed. Know that our family is praying for your family and we are confident that Constance is resting with her Savior. Quentin Jones & Family
