Nancy & Chris Jones

Nancy and Chris Jones are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary on Sunday, June 21, 2026.

Nancy and Chris were married in his grandparents' backyard just months after first calling Coeur d'Alene their new home. Over the past 25 years, they have been blessed by the love and support of family and friends as they raised their two wonderful children, Andrew and Kit, built rewarding careers, and shared life's many adventures together.

As they celebrate their silver wedding anniversary, they are grateful for the memories they've made, the lessons they've learned, and the countless experiences they've shared. Most of all, they remain thankful to each other for coming along for the ride.
