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!
