Nancy Shyrone Ayres, 73, of Gretna, LA went home to be with the Lord and His Angels on Tuesday, April 28, 2020. She was born on April 4, 1947 in Albertville, AL. She was the daughter of Ruby and Vance Maddox. She graduated from Albertville High School and attended the University of Alabama-Huntsville. She enjoyed reading, warm baths, romantic comedies and searching through all corners of the Southeast for the perfect antique. When not serving as the world's greatest human resources manager at a Belle Chasse, LA oil-and-gas company, she would catch up on episodes of "Shark Tank," "America's Got Talent" and "The Voice." When autumn leaves fell, she would cheer passionately for her beloved New Orleans Saints and Alabama Crimson Tide. But nothing gave her as much pleasure and joy as being a mother to twin boys and spending quality time with the family and friends who cherished her dearly and who she loved in equal measure. She was preceded in death by a son, Scott Ayres of Gretna, LA; and her parents, Ruby and Vance Maddox of Albertville, AL. She is survived by a son and daughter-in-law, Jeff and Heather Ayres of Wesley Chapel, FL; two brothers and sisters-in-law, Carl and Carolyn Maddox of Huntsville, AL and Mark and Tracy Maddox of Signal Mountain, TN; her ex-husband, Allan Ayres of Fairhope, AL; special friends, John and Carroll Boyer of Gretna, LA and numerous other family and friends.
