Janie Jones Obituary
A native Jacksonian, Janie was born October 11, 1927. She earned a degree in Home Economics from Belhaven College, specializing in Textiles. Her lifelong love of fabric and design culminated in The Starecase, a ladies retail shop, which she opened in 1978. After her retail success, Janie went on to become a founding member of the Brain Injury Association of Mississippi, receiving their Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012.
Janie is rejoicing in being reunited with her husband of over 66 years, William J. Jones and is survived by her son, William Clay “BC” Jones and her daughter, Amy Jones Coley (Mike) along with grand children William Coley (Catherine), Bucky Coley and Alison Coley; and great grand children, Jackson Coley and Caroline Coley.

I am just now learning about the passing of Janie. She was a precious Christian lady and a long time friend.
My thoughts and prayers will be with all the family at this time.

BC and Amy, you know how much your dad and your mother meant to me. I loved coming down to Jackson in the summers to my second home. I am going to miss them but I know I will see them again some day. Rest in peace Aunt Janie.
