JONES,
Patricia Jean
(Maiden Name: VanAndel)
Patricia Jean VanAndel Jones passed into the arms of the Lord on Saturday, July 15, 2006.
Patty was a resident of Phoenix from the age of 16, originally from Muskegon, Michigan.
She attended First Presbyterian Church where she met her husband Glenn. She graduated from ASU, worked for Senator Carl Hayden and worked at Rosenzwieg's Jewelers. She then devoted her life to being a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She will be remembered most for her sense of humor, smile, generosity, encouragement, faithfulness, loyalty and love for her friends and family. But it was her faith in the Lord that defined her life.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Glenn, of 55 years and her sister Marilyn Lloyd. Patty is survived by her three daughters and sons-in-law: Deanne and Jeff Johnson, Nancy and Dave McCullough and MaryEllen and Paul Sawrey. Her grandchildren are Carey (Adam) Brown, Meagan McCullough, David (Valerie) McCullough, Erica Sawrey and Brittany Sawrey. She had seven great-grandchildren with one more baby on the way.
Each and every one knew they were loved and adored by her, and she was loved by them and will be dearly missed.
Visitation was at A. L. Moore Grimshaw Bethany Mortuary, 710 West Bethany Home Road in Phoenix. A Memorial Service was held Saturday, July 22nd at Camelback Bible Church, 3900 East Stanford Drive in Phoenix.
