Mrs. Jones was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother.  She worked on the farm beside her husband for 60+ years. She could whip up a good country meal in 30 minutes, especially fried chicken and crackling biscuits. She was always worried that someone would leave the table hungry. She always put everyone else before herself.  She loved to crochet and would give the afghans to her loved one’s.  She would spend hours working in her flowers even when she wasn’t able to due to her Arthritis.  She had a passion for collecting porcelain dolls.  She loved decorating for Christmas.  People from all around would drive out to see all the lights outside.  There was Christmas spirit in the house all year long. Some of her holiday favorite sweets were homemade fudge and coconut pie and she never had to use a recipe. There was so much love in the house, 69 years of marriage is proof of that. She will be greatly missed and will be in our hearts forever.

The family will hold a private graveside service will be held on Tuesday, October 12, 2021, 11 a.m. at Mill Swamp Cemetery, Ivor, VA.  In lieu of flowers the family suggest donations be made to the American Cancer Society, c/o Pam Jordan, 18214 Farmview Ln, Windsor, VA 23487 or the Arthritis Association, www.arthritis.org.  Online condolences may be registered at www.littlesfuneralhome.com.
