Paul Edgar Jones, beloved brother, father, uncle, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on January 3, 2026, at the age of 90. Born on July 31, 1935, and he lived a life full of love, laughter and kindness. He was a snowbird living in Venice, Florida in the winter and in Henderson/Sackets Harbor, NY, in the summer with stops in Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
Paul was known for his warm heart and unwavering support for those around him. He had a career as a ceramic engineer, but his greatest joy was his family. He leaves behind cherished memories of his love of storytelling, debating current affairs, giving advice, and watching sports.
Paul is survived by his brother, Gary Jones and wife Corrine, his daughter, Mary Elizabeth Arms married to Jim, his daughter, Jennifer Ann Ball married to Daniel, his son Paul Vincent Jones, married to Janelle, his grandchildren, Robin, Matthew, Katy, Sam, Madison and his great-grandchildren, Brooklyn, Aiden and Taylor who will forever hold him in their hearts. He was preceded in death by his mother, Helen Reed Jones, his father, Paul Jones and his beloved wife, Marguerite Elizabeth (ME) Jones.
A celebration of his life will be held in upstate New York towards the end of July 2026 with a specific date and location to be announced. Friends and family are invited to gather, share stories, and honor the incredible person he was.

He was a lovely man. He was my mother's favorite nephew and was ring bearer in her wedding. I saw him in Mt. Upton, NY, Henderson Harbor, NY, Englewood, FL and Pottstown, PA.

I have many fond memories of my cousin Paul and our times at Henderson harbor and his home in florida.He always had a story and kept up with all the family lore. He and Peggy would always spend time with my parents up north and here in Florida. My mother always enjoyed seeing him too after my dad died.he loved spending time in Florida after living in New York during many cold winters. Our condolences go to the family . He will be missed.

Over many years, I was able to interact with my cousin Paul, ( “Paulie” because his name was Paul Edgar). From Christmas gatherings in the Jones grandparents’ parlor, to excursions to the island in back of his parents’ home in Mt. Upton, to visits to the wonderful summer home at Henderson Harbor for family reunions, and for the many Florida gatherings of Jones and Eggleston families, it was always a treat to see and talk with him. He always had stories to tell. He had an amazingly long run as an athlete, playing softball until near the end of his life. He and Peggy were a good match, and it was sad to see her decline before her death left him alone. My condolences to his brother Gary and all his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren

Paul lived 6 houses down from me in the quiet neighborhood of Southwood in Venice, FL. I would see him at the community pool or at the local Home Depot. He was always friendly, polite and kind. Paul will be greatly missed by his neighbors and friends in our community.
