Jean Jones, 86, of Prescott, Arizona, (formerly of Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Kansas City, Missouri) passed away peacefully on Sept. 21, 2016. Jean was born in Carmichaels, Pennsylvania, in 1930 to C.C. and Viola Thompson. She graduated from the Sibley Memorial School of Nursing in Washington, D.C., in 1951. Jean was a Registered Nurse for over 30 years, specializing in ER and OR nursing in North Kansas City, Missouri. After retiring to Colorado Springs, she enjoyed many activities: hiking, skiing and participating in the Senior Olympics. She enjoyed a second retirement in Prescott, Arizona, for the past six years. Jean is survived by her two children, Kathy Headrick of Prescott and Dave (Jeri) Jones of Carson City, Nevada; and her two grandsons, Matt and Jake. She is also survived by her sister Ruth (Paul) Donahue; and numerous nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the American Heart Association, Senior Olympics or your local animal shelter. The family would like to thank YRMC and the Marley House for their excellent care in Jean’s final days. A private service will be held at Sunland Memorial in Phoenix at a later date. Arrangements entrust to Advantage Golden Door Chapel, Youngtown, Arizona. Information provided by survivors |
