| 6761 |  | Obituary- Jones, Eleanor 1 Full transcription here: Eleanor Illston Jones, 93, of Worthington, Ohio died August 21, 2018. She was born in Ithaca, New York on November 6, 1924, the daughter of the late Cady P. Illston and Laura Buck Illston. She is survived by three sons: David (Joyce) Jones of Columbus, Matt Jones and Peter (Jenny) Jones of Worthington; two daughters: Annie (Adrian) Bennett of Columbus and Amy Jones of Arlington, VA; and by a large extended family. She was preceded in death by her son Evan Jones of Worthington. She was proud of her professional accomplishments. At the Harding Hospital and the Harding-Evans Foundation she worked to educate the community about mental illness, enhance the hospital’s relationship with the community and raise funds to build multiple buildings on the Harding campus. She was a Fellow of the National Association for Hospital Development, member of the Ohio Association for Hospital Development and served on the Worthington Area Chamber of Commerce. Her volunteer contributions to the community were many. She founded and was first president of Tele-Mom, a support organization for mothers; was instrumental in the development of the Worthington Martin Luther King celebration and was a member and chair of the Worthington Community Relations Commission. Her far ranging interests included a love of cars. A long-time member of the Sports Car Club of America, she reveled in attending and working the races at Mid Ohio. Her many contributions to the community were recognized with a tree planted in her honor on the Worthington Green. The church has always been an important part of her life. She grew up in the church in Ithaca and while living in Kansas for 16 years, she partnered with her husband to nurture a small church in Rossville, KS. And she loved the Worthington Church –worshiping there, seeing it grow over time, serving as a Stephen Minister, serving on many committees, and working in the office. The music program gave her enormous pleasure and renewal. But she said her most important and rewarding roles were in the family. She was a Mom to six, and proudly had nine grandchildren (Ruth, Paul, Amy, Adam, Katherine, Michael, Matthew, Regan and Kirsten), nine great grandchildren (Sarah, Rebecca, Chance, Andrew, Allisin, Tyler, Sydney, Isabella and Josey) and two great-great grandchildren (Henry and Oliver). Her joy was hosting and cooking for large family gatherings and being surrounded by the generations. In addition to the official clan, “family” included many others. Adults and children alike knew that Franklin Court was a “safe house” where respite could be had and where a dose of comfort or tough love would be dispensed as needed. She shared her wisdom freely, but gently. Posted on her refrigerator were her Four Steps to a Good Life: • Pay attention • Count your blessings • Be responsible for the space you take up • Do something for others Like everyone, she had losses and disappointments. When she reflected on those hard times she often quoted two sources that gave her strength and perspective. For strength she looked to her faith and often quoted Phillipians “…for I have learned, in whatever state I am, therewith to be content … I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” For perspective she looked to Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. She often described her life in the same way Dorothy described Oz upon her return: “Some of it was not very nice, but most of it was beautiful.” Hers was a beautiful life. Services will be held at the Worthington United Methodist Church, 600 High Street in Worthington on Monday, August 27 at 2:00 pm. Opportunities to visit with the family at the church will be from 4:00 to 6:00 pm on Sunday, August 26 and one hour preceding the Monday service. For those who would like to do so, the family suggests donations in her name to the Worthington United Methodist Church, The Cornell Lab of Ornithology (Ithaca, NY) or a charity that has meaning for the giver. Eleanor's husband, Don Jones, was pastor of the Rossville Methodist Church for 16 years and several of their children graduated from RHS. | |

| 6765 |  | Obituary- Jones, Laura 1 Laura Jones May 18, 1934 — August 28, 2020 Laura Ann Hudson was born in Brazil, Indiana in 1934, to Cecelia Adele (Sterner), wife of John Hudson, a grocer. When she was three years old, in the aftermath of the Great Depression, her parents, two older sisters and brother (Margaret, Betty, and Bob) packed up and drove south to Florida, where she spent the rest of her youth. In 1956, Mom met her “Luvy” - Jimmy Jones, a pilot in the US Navy - and they began their adventurous married life together the next year. In the course of that life, they brought 8 children into the world - seven daughters followed by a son - and together, they eventually saw the ranks of their family swell to 131, including children, grandchildren, great grand children, and a great great grandchild. They saw their children’s children to the fourth generation, as their nuptial blessing promised. Her family was Mom’s greatest source of material happiness and pride in this life. There were two driving forces in Mom’s life - her Faith and her Family. She was a devoted Catholic. As they moved around the country - 29 household moves - they actively sought Catholic schools for their children. In California, when one couldn’t be had, they co-founded a private school (Holy Innocents), which thrived for many years. The ties they formed there were strong and Mom always remembered fondly - and frequently spoke of - her good friends from that era of their life. Eventually, in the 1980’s, they sent their youngest children to St. Mary’s Academy & College. They finally moved here to retire in 1995. | |
| 6766 |  | Obituary- Jones, Laura 2 Mom loved Kansas and St. Marys like no place she ever lived (and she lived in some pretty fabulous places!). Every time she left her house, she commented on the beauty of Kansas. The trees, the sky, the sunsets, the green hills or the fallow fields - every natural aspect of the Kansas she saw was delightful to her. And when she spoke to anyone who didn’t live in St. Marys, she tried to convince them why they should. Rarely a day went by that she didn’t say, “There’s no place like St. Marys.” To all, Mom was known as a fun, hospitable woman who loved to laugh. She entertained frequently at her Round Table in her little kitchen, where anyone could always find a little rest and respite. To her family, she was Luvy, mom, grandma, great grandma - always available for a conversation, advice, encouragement, and, if necessary, a little “setting straight.” She was the greatest fan of each of her grandkids. She always saw the good in each of them and doted on them, whether they lived close by or far away. As a very determined lady, Mom was certain of many things. She was a woman who didn’t compromise her beliefs. She had two favorite sayings: “Everything happens for the best,” and “This, too, shall pass.” They summarize her simple faith and her perpetual optimism. She firmly believed that God was always in control, the He will work good out of any situation no matter how bad, and that even the worst things would eventually pass. And, as always, she was right! This point was proven Friday, August 28, 2020, when she passed into eternity. After suffering severely for six weeks, she died calmly and at peace with family at her side, a priest present to bless her on her way, and a Rosary in her hand. What could be better? There really is no place like St. Marys! | |
| 6767 |  | Obituary- Jones, Laura 3 Mom is survived by her husband of 63 years, Jim Jones, Sr., and her eight children: Sr. Mary Germaine MICM, Laurie (and Gary Benoit), Margie (and Rich Simonton), Susie (and Tom Sweeney), Sarah (and Jeff DeBree), Cecelia (and Joe Bryan), Teresa, and Jim, Jr. (and Tina Disipio); 51 grandchildren; 52 great grandchildren; and 1 great-great grandchild, all of whom she loved dearly. Her funeral schedule is as follows: Thursday, September 3 2:00 - 4:00 pm: visitation at Piper’s Funeral Home, St. Marys, KS 6:00 pm: reception of body at Assumption Chapel followed by the Rosary Friday, September 4 10:30 am: Sung Requiem Mass, Assumption Chapel, St. Marys, KS followed by burial at Our Lady of Peace Cemetery A pot luck open house follows at the home of Joe and Cecelia Bryan, 310 W Palmer Street, St. Marys. All are welcome. In Lieu of Flowers Mom’s great hope in the past few years was to see the Immaculata (the church presently being built in St. Marys) come to be. The last drive she took was to see the progress at the building site. | |
