Marion Janet Robinson Jones

Concord, NH — It is with a broken heart that I share with you the passing of Marion J. Robinson Jones on December 3, 2021.

Marion was born on December 29, 1929 in Rutland, VT to Roy and Lucinda (Campbell) Robinson. It is in Rutland that Marion would grow up one of five siblings, and where she would meet her husband, Calvin C. Jones of Essex Jct., VT. Marion and Calvin married on December 31, 1949 and gave life to two daughters, Margaret and Susan.

The family would live in Keene, NH for 60 years. After graduating high school, Marion worked at Commercial Credit in Rutland, VT.

It is there, that Calvin (who also worked at Commercial Credit) would met his future bride. "When I saw her for the first time, I knew I would marry her," he would say. Marion was fortunate to be a stay at home mom to her two daughters.

During their high school years, she worked at National Grange Mutual until her retirement. In her spare time, Marion was an artist. She painted in a variety of mediums, crochet, and knit all of our hats and mittens. Playing bingo and cruising with her sister-in-law, Hazel, was an activity she enjoyed, but best of all was her big adventure to Italy with her daughter, Margaret.

Marion and Calvin were snow birds and enjoyed the harsh New England winters basking in the warmth of Bonita Springs, FL . There they became close once more with their many siblings, living next door to Calvin's sister, Hazel.

Some memories that I will cherish will be dancing and singing to American Band Stand on Saturdays, singing in the church chior together, and knowing that even in Keene, NH, "You will wear your ski pants and boots to school until the snow is gone from Killington Mountain."

Marion is predeceased by her husband Calvin, their daughter Susan, an infant grandson, her parents, and siblings: Margaret, Beatrice, Everett, and Robert.

She was a loving and giving mother to Margaret and Susan, and grandmother to Byron Ling, Joy Ling, Abigail Pierson, and Cory Pierson. Marion was also great-grandmother to eleven children, and great-great grandmother to one.

There will not be services held. Burial will take place in the Spring in Keene, NH where Calvin and Marion will join their daughter, Susan.

A special thank you to The Birches of Concord for their excellent care and love, and to Bayata Hospice for their medical and spriitual care.
