She was married 50 years to her dear sweet man, Edwin C. Jones, and made many enjoyable moments along the way.

She retired from Timken, Canton, OH, in 2014.

She loved spending time with family, but especially her grandchildren. She enjoyed doing any project for friends and family, and was always ready and eager to jump in. She also enjoyed sewing and making crafty projects, and had a strong faith in God.

(Robbin) Jones; three grandchildren, Mary Francis Jones, Morgan Jones and Abigail Jones; and one great-grandson, Charles Douglas “Huck” Jones.
