Jones, William Logan (Chickamauga)

  • Monday, November 26, 2018
William Logan Jones, 95, of Albany, Ga., formerly of Chickamauga, moved into heaven on Sunday, November 25, 2018. He lived in Chickamauga for 60 years before moving to Albany in 1994. Mr. Jones worked for the Tennessee Valley Authority for 36 years and served our country in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II. He spent his early childhood in Adel, Ga. where his father managed a large farm. Mr. Jones was a member of Elizabeth Lee Methodist Church in Chickamauga for many years and later was a member of Fort Oglethorpe Methodist Church. In Albany he was affiliated with Well Spring Revival Center. Mr. Jones loved being outdoors. He liked fishing and participating in coyote hunts near Albany. Even through his early nineties, he spent hours each day caring for his yard: mowing, pruning and keeping it clear of debris. He is very much loved and adored by his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. 

Mr. Jones is preceded in death by his precious wife of 62 years, Caroline Virginia Johnston Jones; his father and mother, John Henderson and Lucile Logan Jones; and his brother, Ralph H. Jones, former sheriff of Walker County. 

He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Judy and John Lowry of Albany, Ga.; his sons and daughters-in-law, Bill and Myra Jones, of Chickamauga and Chris and Jenny Jones, of Manassas, Va.; eight grandchildren, Kim (Mark) Jones Mixer, Kevin (Shannon) Jones, Erin Lowry, Joanna (Jon) Lowry Gurr, Rebecca (Seth) Jones Middleton, Heather (Connor) Jones Jorde, Laura (Brandon) Jones Bocianski and David Jones; 10 great-grandchildren, Isabella, Paige, Cameron, Jake, Trip, Caleb, Nora, Reese, Charlie and Eleni; and two sisters, Wynell Riddle and Louise Clements, both of Chickamauga. 
The family would like to thank Annie Simms, Ruby Young and Amanda Young for their wonderful care for Mr. Jones over the last several years of his life. 

The family will receive friends from 10-11 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 27 at the Wilson Funeral Home - J. Avery Bryan Chapel in Chickamauga.  Burial services will follow immediately afterwards at Rock Spring Cemetary. 

The family will also hold a memorial service early next year so that all family members will be able to attend and honor the life and legacy of William L. Jones. 

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to a city outreach ministry in Albany, Ga. called Jethro’s Coffee Company.  Donations can be made online at jethroscoffee.com/donate or mailed to City Connect, PO Box 71733, Albany, GA 31708.
