Sue Jones

Carolyn "Sue" Jones, 90, passed away on Tuesday, June 20th, 2021, in her beloved home surrounded by her family. She was born May 16th, 1931, to Carrie Dora (Skaggs) and Francis "Fritz" Stobart in Harrisburg Ill. Both preceded her in death. Also preceding her in death was her loving husband of 40 years, William L. Jones, who passed away on December 14th, 1990.

She leaves behind her children, Martha Jones of OFallon, MO, Patsy Jones of Danville, IL, Bill (Patty) Jones of OFallon, MO, and Becky (John) Davis of Centennial, CO; grandchildren, Hannah (Elie) Savoie of Chicago, IL and Trevor (Teri) Jones of St Louis, MO; as well as two brothers, John (Charlotte) Stobart and Frank (Ed) Stobart.

An avid reader, ballroom dancer, walking enthusiast, and people person, Sue loved to attend the symphony, tend to her garden and porch, and shop with friends. She enjoyed her many years as a public-school librarian interacting with the students and teachers. Her favorite place to read and talk with others was on her front porch. Sue was a Sherman Street matriarch for over 62 years. Above all, Sue treasured time with her family and friends hosting them at holidays or by sharing a simple walk and talk around the park. Sue was a woman of great faith in God. She sought opportunities to grow closer to God through her adult life and encouraged her children to do so also. She leaves behind a lasting legacy of faith and love to all who knew her.
