Marion Jayne Jones
December 31, 1909 ~ August 9, 2008
Marion Jayne Jones died at the home of her daughter, Jayne, on August 9, 2008. Marion had a long & interesting life. She was born in Henrietta, Oklahoma on the last day of 1909. After graduating as valedictorian of her high school, she moved to Tulsa to attend college. Not long after starting her career in Tulsa she met a recent graduate of the University of Arkansas. This was the beginning of a long & very happy marriage. She moved from state to state as this young engineer, John Jones, was transferred many times. In 1942 they settled in Norfolk, Virginia, & she remained there until moving in 1997 to the Virginian in Fairfax, Virginia. She lived there until suffering at heart attack in Feburary 2008.
Marion was talented in so many ways. She will always be remembered for making the best chocolate cake, sewing the most beautiful clothes, arranging the lovliest flower arrangements, & always having time to be a wonderful wife, mother, & friend.
She was a long time member of the Willowwood Presbyterian Church & worked for many years for the Norfolk School System.
Her family was her biggest joy. Just the mention of her four grandchildren brought the biggest smile to her face & many pictures from her pocketbook. As the great grandkids came along they were each so special to her.
She was predeceased by her beloved husband, John Jones & her son-in-law, Rod Kent. Surviving are her daughters, Jayne Kent & Carolyn (Bob) Yosaitis; four grandchildren & their spouses; & eight great-grandchildren.

A beautiful memorial to such a fantastic lady.
A lovely remembrance for an extraordinary woman. She enriched all our lives so very much. She is, and will always be, dearly missed.
Dear Family: I am so sorry to learn of Mrs. Jones’ death. I have such fond memories of both of your parents as our backyard neighbors. I have memories of Fifi, your father and his kind and loving heart and your mother and her kind and loving heart. They were both delightful people. Your family is in my prayers as you mourn the death of such a remarkably talented woman as your mother. Sincerely, Kathleen (Hamilton) Gerwien
Dear Carolyn and Jane, I know what a special lady your mother was, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Barbara
Dear Jones Family, I just wanted to express my condolences for the death of your loved one, Marion J. Jones. My commendation to the person or persons involved in writing her obituary. As I was reading it, I sensed that she was a warm, caring person who influenced many lives for the good. It is quite obvious that she was loved very much and will be deeply missed. Please know that you are not alone. All of us have experienced the pain of losing a dear loved one in death. It is at such times that we may wonder how we can cope. As you know, the Bible can be of great help. Psalm 55:22 says: “Throw your burden upon Jehovah himself, And he himself will sustain you.” So we can pour out our feelings to God who comforts us in all our distresses and promises to help us endure. The Bible further discusses some practical coping skills such as, talking to a trusted friend about your feelings (Proverbs 17:17), writing down your feelings as David did following the death of Saul and Jonathan (2 Samuel 1:17-27), and crying which can serve as an emotional release. Even Jesus Christ-when he was on the earth-“gave way to tears†over the death of his dear friend Lazarus (John 11:33, 35). Please know that death is not the end and it sure was not God’s original purpose for humans to die. I hope you have found these words to be of some encouragement. You have my deepest sympathy. P.S. By the way, I love a good chocolate cake too (smile).
