Shirley Jean Jones

Shirley Jean Jones went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Wednesday, October 9, 2024. She was born on October 28, 1963 to Clarice Joann (Nicki) and Joseph Howard Jones. 

Shirley enjoyed being with friends and family. Although having FSHD muscular dystrophy, she enjoyed life to the fullest, even going sky diving for her 49th birthday! She enjoyed laughing and singing and listening to music, painting and doing puzzles. Encouraging others was the gift that God had given her and she tried serving the Lord with this gift every day of her life. Shirley was a licensed cosmetologist and nail technician and loved serving people in the salon while she physically could. Her most favorite job was being a mother to Benjamin David. Shirley also loved being a women’s Bible study teacher and planning retreats and praying for others. Besides being Ben’s mom, she loved serving the Lord with her whole heart. She depended on the Lord for everything she did in life. The Lord was her joy and strength.  

Shirley is survived by her son and daughter in law, Ben and Ashleigh Woods; father, Joseph Jones; sister, Wanda Jones Nelson; brother, Stewart Jones; and granddaughter, Zoey Mae.  

She is preceded in death by her mother, Clarice; sister, Pam; and brother, John.

A celebration of Shirley’s life will be held Friday, October 11, 2024 at 3 PM at Lowe Funeral Home Chapel.
