Elizabeth Jane Jones Rust, of Estill Springs, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 30, 2025, at Vanderbilt Tullahoma Harton. Elizabeth was born on March 17, in Estill Springs, to the late Jessie Prince and Edna (Campbell) Jones. Elizabeth devoted her life to taking care of her family and preparing wonderful meals for them to enjoy. She traveled all over the world with her family by trains, planes and automobiles, and along the way enjoyed making stops at yard sales and antique stores. She considered her "soap opera" friends her second family and spent her afternoons watching Young and the Restless, Bold and The Beautiful, and As the World Turns until their last episode. Elizabeth was a lifelong member of the Estill Springs United Methodist Church. She will be remembered by all who knew her as an adventurous, sentimental, caring lady who loved to have a good laugh. In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband, Howard Dennis Rust, and brother, Oscar Wade Jones. Elizabeth is survived by her daughter, Charlie Rust (Rich) Arnold; grandson, Swade Elliott; granddaughter, Blair (Adam) Nunley; several great-grandchildren, sister, Barbara Ann Ball; and nephew, Greg (Jeanne) Ball. Visitation will be held from 1-2 pm on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at Moore-Cortner Funeral Home.
