Paula A. Jones went to be with the Lord on January 23, 2026, at the age of 85. Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Paula made her home in Birmingham, where she lovingly raised her two sons, Brian and William Jones.

Serving as a School Secretary, Paula dedicated more than twenty years to the Royal Oak Public School system. Her warmth, patience, and steady presence touched countless students, families, and colleagues over the years.

Paula loved tending to her garden, cooking, playing tennis, and taking long walks with her dogs. Summers spent in the Traverse City area were among her happiest times, filled with sunshine, family, and the peacefulness of northern Michigan.

Throughout her life, Paula's strong faith was a guiding force, and she enjoyed attending Church regularly.

Paula has now joined her late husband, Raymond. Cherished mother of Brian Jones and William (Candina) Jones. Dearest grandmother of Karina, Jeremiah and Julianna.

She will be remembered for her kindness, her devotion to her family, and the gentle grace she brought to every day.

Paula's family held services privately.
