Dr. Beryle Jones was born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1936 and moved to Canada in 1963. She was a dedicated educator in the province of Manitoba and she also served on many steering committees.

Miss Jones was my grade 9 teacher at John Gunn in Transcona. She was a strict but very fair teacher and I definitely learnt the most from her. She truly was an awesome teacher. RIP Miss Jones. Condolences to her family and friends. - Posted by: Arlene Whyte (Former student) on: Jan 22, 2022
