BARBARA RUTH JONES Sadly we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend Barbara Ruth Mary Jones at the age of 82 at her home on July 9, 2004. Her husband Don; her children, Rick and Helen; her daughter-in-law Nicole; and grandchildren, Ryan, Monica, Sean and Aaron will lovingly remember her as well as her sister Pam and husband Ken; sister Betty; and sister-in-law Muriel; plus numerous nieces and nephews. Her parents, Ruth and Charles Baker have predeceased her as well as her brother Phil and brother-in-law Henry and parental in-laws, Edith and William Jones. Barb was raised in Elmwood with her closely knitted family. After high school she worked then married Donald Jones in l949 where they built a home in West Kildonan and raised two children. Barbs greatest joy was her deep love for her children and grandchildren. She loved to laugh with her girlfriends. She belonged to many informal groups throughout her life that were of great importance to her. She had a zest for life that was easy to see in her eyes but a quite sweet determination to climb her own personal mountains. Barb lived an unselfish life often putting the needs of others before her own. As her health diminished she still embraced life with courage and dignity. Her kindness and generosity of spirit will be sadly missed. A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, July 14 at 1:30 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. Should friends desire, donations in Barbaras memory may be made to AMD Alliance International (Macular Degeneration), 1929 Bayview Ave., Toronto, ON M4G 3E8. CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL 586-8044
