Bernice Jones Obituary

February 3, 1923-December 3, 2013 A woman of grace and spirit, Bernice lived life to the fullest with her husband of 70 years, Paul A Jones, who preceded her in death in 2010. A loving wife, mother and grandmother, she loved RV'ing, bridge and crossword puzzles. "Nana" or "BJ" as she was affectionately known, always had a beautiful smile and a sweet, loving way. She was the strong, supportive presence behind her husband's successful career by being his secretary, social organizer and hostess for their many events. She and her beloved Paul traveled across the United State over 70 times in their RV, leading RV'ing clubs to/from Mexico and coast to coast in the US. Bernice was an Arkansas native. She is survived by her children, Paul Allen Jones(Margie) of Wilton and Peggy Mitchell(Jess) of Americus, GA and brother Bill T. Carmical (Audre) of Florence, Oregon. Grandchildren included Mandy Branton(Lyle) of GA, Amy Wright (Billy) of GA, Guy Jones (Kayti) of Citrus Heights and Brett Jones (Jill) of Sacramento, eight great grandchildren and three great great grandchildren. All four of her grandchildren had the joy of being with her in her last months. Friends are invited to a Remembrance of Life Reception at the Jones's on Saturday, Dec. 14, 2013 from Noon to 3:00 p.m. at 9777 Tavernor Rd., Wilton, California. Memorial contributions may be sent to the Inner Wheel Children's Myroelectric Limb Project, IWUSA Foundation, P. O. Box 3414, Haines City, FL 33845-3414.
