Barbara Colleen Jones of Greensboro GA

August 21, 1939 ~ January 5, 2024

 

On Friday, January 5th, 2024, Barbara Colleen Jones, the beautiful wife of Ronald Jones, our

wonderful mother, sister, grandmother, great grandmother and friend to all left us to meet her

Lord and Savior after battling cancer for the second time. Barbara never met a stranger and

became an instant friend to everyone she met. If you had a chance to meet her, your life would

have been uplifted to the next level. Her passion for life brought such joy and happiness into the

world not to mention her humor and infectious laughter. It is not often that you meet such a

special person who spreads joy and kindness wherever her travels took her. Our mother majored

in being the matriarch of our family where she shared a 63-year love story with our father who

was her husband and best friend.
