Obituary for Richard L. Jones

Richard L.   Jones
Richard Lee Jones, 71, of Como, MS, passed away on Wednesday, February 25, 2015 at North Delta Hospice House in Southaven, MS.

He was born August 5, 1943 in Ottumwa, IA and was raised in Montour, IA. He was a former police officer in Toledo, IA and served in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. His greatest joy in life was his grandchildren. He loved having family gatherings at his home, teaching the grandchildren how to ride atv’s, building bonfires, and fishing in his pond. Every holiday, he loved to cook for his family and each summer, he would drive to Iowa to visit his brothers and their extended families. In his later years, the internet became his daily connection to the world. He loved keeping in contact through email with his friends and family. As a lifelong animal lover, he always surrounded himself with pets and his constant companion was his dog Rebel.

Mr. Jones is survived by his loving wife of forty-nine years, Bettye Raglin Jones, two children, Patti Jones Mashbitz and Jerry Jones; three grandchildren, Jonathan Mashbitz, Kevin Mashbitz, and Hannah Jones; two brothers, Charles Jones and Robert Jones. He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Alice Jones and two brothers, Michael Jones and James Jones.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 7, 2015 at Ray-Nowell Funeral Home in Sardis, MS. Following the service, family and friends will gather at Bowen Hill in Sardis for fellowship remembrance. Memorial contributions may be made to the immediate family. Ray-Nowell Funeral Home has charge of arrangements.
