Suzanne Jones Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Mar. 1 to Mar. 2, 2023.
Suzanne Marie Jones, 71, of Sarasota, Florida, passed away on the 28th of November, 2022, after a long battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. She is now home and in the loving arms and protection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Suzanne was born on the 1st of March, 1951, to Patrick and Claire Blanchette in Caribou, Maine. After graduating from Plainville High School in Plainville, Connecticut, she went on to marry her childhood love-Jeffrey Leon Jones-in 1970. Suzanne led a rewarding and dedicated career in the field of nursing, working in a specialized Alzheimer's unit until retiring in 2005.

Suzanne enjoyed reading, cooking, providing selflessly for her family with every ounce of her heart, and the comfort and joy of her beloved shih tzu's.

Suzanne is preceded in death by her mother, Claire Blanchette, and father, Patrick Blanchette. She is survived by her husband of 53 years, Jeffrey Leon Jones; brothers Ronald Blanchette and Robert Blanchette; sons Jeffrey Leon Jr. and Justin Patrick. She is also further survived by nieces and nephews, other relatives, and friends.

A beautiful wife, mother, friend, and Christian, Heaven has truly gained a wonderful and precious soul.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Humane Society, an organization Suzanne felt strongly about.

Our mother was indeed so special, and it especially showed in her compassion for animals. Please remember all of the dogs and cats without loving homes, and donate when you can. www.hssc.org.

I know my wife and I never had the honor in meeting you, but Jeffrey had talked about you all the time and what an amazing person you are. I know you are watching over your family from above.

Until we finally meet...may you Rest In Peace.

When the days have taken their toll on me,

When my body is frail and heart in pieces,

When hope feels like a distant memory of a road no longer traveled.

I think of you, the warmth of your embrace and your boundless love, and once more,

I'm whole.

Until I dance with you again in Heaven, mom, I will always have my dreams.

I had the pleasure of working with Jeff for 20+ years. Working together over the years I got to know Sue, Jeffery and Justin. Sue was an amazing lady to be able to keep Jeff in line and raise two incredibly talented sons. They say that children are a direct reflection of their parents. During Sue´s life she brought so much love to all those around her. Sue lives on through her sons and husband. Rest in peace Sue Jones.

As of the lose of my Aunt Susan saddened my heart as I thought to myself and never really thought about it, but I realized I only have two Aunt's and only on my father's side Russell B.Jones r.i.p. of 6/21/16 and brother of my favorite Uncle Jeff Jones . So now I only have one left.
Most of my time spent with my Aunt Susan was when I was a child,but as time went by when I got to see her I was always greeted with open arms and felt part of her family and I loved her so! With her lose the my world will feel a little more lonely.
I know the Angel's has lifted her up to our Lord and gifted the peace of heaven. She will be missed. Love and prayers to my cousins and my Uncle Jeff and I love and will miss you Aunt Susan.
Sincerely Gerald B. Jones

Your brother Ron and sister in law Leslie.

The thing I remember most growing up is whenever I needed help, had a bad day or just needed someone to talk to my mom was always there for me. When I reached adulthood the mom and son relationship became stronger. I couldn´t ask for a better mom and she was also my best friend. And I will miss her everyday of the rest of my life until I see her again. I love you so much!

We met Sue years ago when Tom & Jeff began working together. When you met her, you knew that Sue was a person who truly cared about others. She spoke with such love and compassion about her work with alzheimer patients. The love that Sue & her family shared was very special. Our hearts grieve with you.

I started dating Sue I was 12 and Sue was 11. We dated all through our school years. After getting approval from Sue´s mom we got married in FL in our junior year of high school. Sue´s mom had one condition for her approval and that condition was we would have a church wedding after we graduated. We were married in the Lady Of Mercy Catholic Church in Plainville, CT. after we graduated. Now not only have I lost my wife, but my best friend too. Words can´t say how much I miss her, and I love her just as much as when I first fell in love with her when we were just kids. I know God is taking good care of her and I can´t wait to be with her again............love you honey

While I never had the privilege of meeting you in person, I did have the privilege of working with your husband Jeff. I remember so well how you, and your boys, were so important to him. Stories of dating, honeymoon, and all of the family to come. I did text with you a few times, as it was important that Jeff made sure I had you number. In case "something happened" to him at work. Was way more fun to send you pictures of what he was doing. You live on in your family. I know that you're watching over all of them. Be proud of your amazing accomplishments! God speed dear lady! You mattered! Mom's rock!

Happy birthday, mom. I miss you so much, and I know you know...because you are looking down at me from Heaven. You are in my thoughts, dreams, and heart--every single day--and will be forever. I will spend the rest of my life trying to live strongly and righteously, in honor of your beautiful memory.

I can't wait to see you again, mom. I love you.
