Dorothy "Dot" Jones was born on August 31, 1937, in Matador TX, to George and Violet McMahan. After high school she moved to Plainview, Texas, where she met and then married Ken Jones on January 1, 1957.

Dorothy was a homemaker and very involved in the PTA, and all the school, church, and sports activities of her children. She and Ken attended 9th and Columbia Church of Christ, where she served the Lord in many ways. As a farmer's wife, Dorothy had the opportunity to perfect her cooking and baking to her family's delight. In time, Ken and Dorothy purchased a cabin in New Mexico where many friendships and memories were made. They also owned and operated Plainview Battery for several years.

Dorothy was known for her love of people and knowing how to make them feel special. She never met a stranger and touched the lives of everyone she met. In 2003, Dorothy and Ken moved to Matador, Texas, where she continued to love and serve others. They attended Matador Church of Christ during their years in Matador, where many wonderful friendships were made. Ken passed in 2015, and Dorothy made the move to Burkburnett, Texas in 2019 to live near her daughter. On Thursday, November 6, 2025, Dorothy passed from this Earth.
