McKinley JONES Obituary
Mr. McKinley was born Feb. 26, 1914, to the late Hugh Jones and Theorria Whitaker in Rocky Mount, N.C., but had been a longtime resident of the Tidewater community.

He attended Gethsemane Baptist Church faithfully until his declining health would no longer permit him to do so. He was a faithful member of the Elks Lodge of Newport News.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Mary Jane Marsh Jones.
He is survived by his daughter, Cleo Bridges of Maryland; his stepdaughter, Dorothy Roberson of Newport News; and a host of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
