Hal Jones Obituary
"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith" 2 Timothy 4:7
Hal Jones was born October 29, 1948 in Sylvania, GA to the late Hattie Mae Jones Kelly and reared by Lester Kelly. He departed this life on Saturday, November 29, 2025 at his home in Sylvania, GA.

He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Daisy Young, grandfather, Willie Young, sister, Ruby Lee and a brother David Lee Kelly.
