Erma A.
Erma Agatha (Powell) Jones, age 85, of Allen, MI passed away on Saturday, May 4, 2013, in her home. Erma was born in Toledo, OH on April 17, 1928, to John and Marie (Mondt) Powell.

In addition to her parents, Erma was preceded in death by her husband, Allan Jones; first husband, Lenny Friedman; sister, Yvonne Powell, and brothers, Norman ("Jack") and Eugene Powell.
