Margaret Jones Obituary

Margaret Louise Jones

1948 - 2013

Margaret Louise Jones, born March 15, 1948 in Pensacola, Florida, died July 28, 2013 at the Joyce Goldenburg Covenent Hospice

Margaret passed away July 28, Sunday evening, at the Joyce Goldenburg Hospice Center, from pancreatic cancer. She was employed with "At Work Uniforms" until her retirement last year due to her son's illness. Margaret was preceded in death by her mother, Doris Elouise Jones, and her son, Brian Keith Jones. Margaret is survived by the beloved men in her life, husband, Richard M. Jones, Sr., son, Richard M. Jones, Jr., grandson, Drake Jones, and her father, Arthur L. Jones, Sr. She is also survived by her siblings, sisters, Dorothy Burkett, Patricia Ellis (John W.), Mary Exum (Kenith), and brothers, Arthur L. Jones, Jr. (Jeanne), Thomas D. Jones (Lee Ann), and John M. Jones (Margaret), along with a host of nieces and nephews.

For those of us who knew and loved Margaret, she was a gentle-spirited, soft-spoken woman who nurtured those around her with her calming ways. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends left behind, especially her lifelong best friend, Carol Pfeiffer, who was with Margaret at her passing. Our family would like to express their thanks to all of the many friends who continued to pray for Margaret's recovery throughout her illness. We also send our heartfelt gratitude to the care-givers at Joyce Goldenburg Hospice Center for their loving care of Margaret and for their continued support of her family during a very difficult year. Visitation will be Monday, August 5, from 5:00-7:00P.M., at the funeral home. The funeral service, led by Monsignor Stephen Bosso, will be Tuesday, August 6, at 10:30 A.M., immediately followed by burial at Barrancas National Cemetery.

To my dear Uncle and family, I pray that you are comforted by the Lord during this difficult time. Aunt Margaret was such a sweet, kind, and wonderful person. She always made you feel like you were the most important person whenever you came to visit or called, and am very sad she is gone. I will miss her more than words can say and all the stars in the sky.
In my heart, I believe she's up in Heaven reunited with Brian, and take some small comfort & solace from that thought. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers to all she left behind, may God comfort, bless, and keep you. X O

I work at the Orange Beach office of At Work Uniforms and had the pleasure of working with Margaret and Brian. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. She was such a sweet person and great to work with. She will be missed by family and friends I am sure, but only to be reunited with Brian who is very much still missed. I would like to extend my deepest sympathy and prayers to the family she left behind and that GOD will put his arms around you all and comfort you through this time.
