June Jones Obituary

JUNE AUDREY JONES On Tuesday, March 1, 2016 June Audrey Jones slipped gracefully into the arms of Jesus. She was born to Charlotte and Robert Davis on December 31, 1936 in Van Nuys, CA. June was known for her compassionate heart, manifested throughout her life in her unending love for all of her family, her willingness to help neighbors at the drop of a hat, her joy in baking cookies for someone in need, and her ability to share an unforgettable moment of laughter. She was the Principal's Secretary at Arlington High School for over 30 years and ended her career as the Secretary to the Assistant Superintendent of RUSD. June's hands were rarely still. Her creativity could be seen in the garden she tended with care and devotion year after year, and in the sweet handmade treasures of blankets and birdhouses. The legacy left by June is carried on by her husband of 35 years, Lowell Jones; sister, Carolee Warner; daughter, Carol Groves and her husband Bruce; son, Robert Herkelrath; stepdaughter, Marilu Reitnouer and her husband Paul; stepdaughter, Wendy Baker; 10 grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren. Her family is at peace knowing she heard the words, "Well done, my good and faithful servant! Now, get to work, there's the garden." Nothing would make her happier than to worship Our Lord on her knees in His garden. Her family looks forward to sharing memories, laughing and celebrating her life with you on March 24th, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. at The Grove Community Church at 19900 Grove Community Dr., Riverside, CA. In lieu of flowers, you can send a donation to Kaiser Permanente Riverside Hospice Program at 10917 Magnolia Ave, Riverside, CA 92505.

Not sure what to say?





Mom has been Home now for three years. How can that be?! There is not a day that I dont cherish a memory of her. What a gift. It might be because my home is filled with things she made. Or, that my whole life was filled with her love and kindness. It might even be that so much of who I am I gleaned from her example, though I fall short. Im not sure. One thing I do know is that three years later means three years closer to seeing her again because of the gift of Jesus.

June was a TREASURE! Our world needs more of her kind in it--caring, compassionate, loving.

June was the smile that greeted me and countless others who taught and worked at Arlington High School. She was a beloved treasure and will always be remembered for her kindness and compassion. She also had a bit of mischief about her, too. I'll never forget the day I flushed my keys down the toilet. Who but June would fish them out, return them to me on a stick, and tell me I probably should wash them?!?!! Such a sweetheart! Such a great lady! I feel honored and blessed to have known her. June was truly a special and beautiful flower from God's garden.

My husband and I met June through bowling. We are friends with her husband Lowell, and share in his loss. June was a soft spoken, kind, and loving person. The world could use more Junes.
Bless you, Lowell. Please know you have friends who care.

Although I did not have the privilege of knowing June intimately, her life and legacy has blessed me immensely through her daughter Carol and granddaughter Libby. Carol was the first woman to show me what true discipleship looks like! And Libby has been one of my closest friends and best influences in my walk with Jesus for a long time... I know these ladies have been such a blessing to me because of the godly influence of June! I also loved hearing testimony of June's trust in Jesus her Savior as she endured various trials, and of the joy she found in her God and in her family! I know she will be greatly missed, but I am thankful to God that she is with Him right now in heaven!

I met June when we were both 14 years old. She was my best friend and the sister I always wanted. I will miss her all the rest of my days on earth, but I know we will meet again in a better place.

June was such a blessing. Her many kind deeds and thoughtfulness were appreciated. She was a bright spot in the neighborhood.

Sad for us that she is not here but the joy she has every moment in heaven I can't begin to understand.

I will always remember when June perfectly tailored all of our bridesmaid dresses for Libby's wedding. She carefully measured and took into consideration all of our wants and needs. I so appreciated her valuable sewing skills and her willingness to use them to bless her granddaughter's bridesmaids. She must have been an incredibly sweet and caring woman because her daughter, Carol, is the sweetest and most caring woman I have ever met.
