Mona Jones

With a heavy heart, we announce the passing of Mona Marie Jones. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend who touched the lives of many with her kindness, generosity, and gentle spirit.

 Mona was born to William Roy & Lydia (Alvey) Woods on August 21,1932 in Texhoma, Oklahoma. Roy and Lydia homesteaded on Summit Point, Utah but traveled back to Oklahoma to be with family for the birth of their first child. They returned to Summit Point when Mona was a few months old.

 Her sister, Wanda June was born a few years later in Monticello, Utah. The family remained on the homestead, farming and building a life together for nearly 20 years. On November 17, 1952, Mona married Ira Custer Jones in Gallup, NM. Together they lived in many places as Ira worked in various Uranium mines in the four corners area. Upon moving to Bedrock, CO in 1972 they found the place to call home, where they spent the remainder of their lives.

 Mona lived a life of hard work, loving care, and cherished moments. She was dedicated to her role as a homemaker and took pride in caring for her family's needs, home, and yard. Everyone in her circle received love as she provided physical and emotional care to all.

 While Mona was never a member of a particular church, she lived Christian values throughout her life. She had respect for all who shared their beliefs with her. She was preceded in death by her parents, Roy and Lydia, her husband Ira Jones, her sister Monica Zimmerman, and Paul & Viola Nixon, her father & mother-in-law whom she loved dearly.

 Mona is survived by her children, Sherry Pribble (James), Tommy Jones (Ramona), Tammy Moyer and Chad Jones (Brenda) and grandchildren: Candace Knotts, Jamie Joslin, Colby Chiles, Timothy Jones, Stacy Dominquez, Shaylene Randolph, Cassie Miller, Nick Randolph, Shawna Yos, Ashley Warn, Casey Jones, Cody Jones. She has 26 great-grandchildren, her brother David Wells, sister Wanda Hemphill, numerous nieces and nephews, and individuals whom she considered family. She also leaves behind a community of friends who will miss her dearly.

 A memorial service will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Paradox, CO on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, at 11am followed by a dedication of the grave and burial at the Paradox cemetery. 

Immediately following, family and friends will gather to celebrate her life and share our favorite memories at the Paradox Community Center (Red Church).

 We find comfort in knowing that Mona's spirit will continue to inspire us all. We will all strive to live a life as honorable as hers. - The Family
