A native and lifelong resident of the north Georgia area, Mrs. Jones was a member of Lookout Baptist Church and was retired from Bell South following 41 years of service.  She also was a member of the Telephone Pioneers of America.  While she enjoyed knitting and quilting in her spare time, her greatest love was animals.
