Thirty-eight years ago today, on March 4, 1983, George Jones wed Nancy Sepulvado. The ceremony took place at the home of Jones sister, Helen Scroggins, in Woodville, Texas.
The marriage was the fourth for Jones. Previously, he had been married to Dorothy Bonvillion, Shirley Ann Corley and Tammy Wynette, the last of whom he divorced in 1975. But it was Sepulvado, his wife until his death in 2013, whom Jones considered his soulmate. No teenage boy ever fell harder for a girl than I fell for Nancy Sepulvado, Jones said in his 1996 autobiography,
I Lived to Tell It All (quote via
Country Weekly). When I met my future wife on a blind date in November 1981, I had no idea that someday she would save my life.
The challenges for the O Neils didn t stop there. Getting their second dose has been an even tougher task for the couple in their 70s, who said they’re following the pandemic playbook in their San Marcos home. I have disabilities and my age. And, I m anxious and fearful to go out, said Jan O’Neill.
Their second dose appointment was rescheduled once for March 4
, and then they got a text just one day before telling them to check UCSD’s My Chart for yet another scheduling change.
“The fire burns inside of you,” laughed Jan O’Neill about getting the notice.
For most of his early life, George Jones was a gifted artist with a drinking problem and self-destructive bent, but there's nothing like the love of a good woman to turn a guy around.
