Held in her late husband’s honor, the concert - dubbed “Still Playin’ Possum: Music and Memories of George Jones” and a live auction of autographed guitars and two front-row tickets to the show raised a total of $80,225.50 for The Memorial Fund for Officer Crumby and The Donation Fund for Officer Morin.

The sold-out all-star concert featured live performances from artists including Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley, Wynonna, Travis Tritt, Jelly Roll, Tanya Tucker, Trace Adkins, Sara Evans, Justin Moore, Jamey Johnson, Joe Nichols, Aaron Lewis, Michael Ray, Uncle Kracker, Lorrie Morgan, Tracy Byrd, Tracy Lawrence, The Isaacs, and Dillon Carmichael.

Nancy Jones commented: "George loved Huntsville, Alabama. And that is why I chose this town. George was supposed to have a show here 10 years ago, and I'm so happy that we got to do what we did."

Sam I Am, Midday Host, 93.3 Nash Icon, remarked: "It was really important to me to help make this event a success. Here in Huntsville, we're a big growing city with small hometown feelings. It's our responsibility to take care of each other."
