Joan Carole Jones (nee Hart), 74, passed away on July 25, 2016, after nearly a year long battle with cancer.
She is survived by her husband, Theodore Jones, Jr, of the Villages, Florida, her son Theodore Jones, III and daughter-in-law, Sheri of Springfield, Virginia, as well as her daughter, Dr. Susan M. Jones, of South Portland, Maine.
Joanie earned a degree in psychology, and was blessed with a natural gift of seeing those in need of support or friendship. She was a committed volunteer over the years, donating her time and energies, often taking on leadership positions.
An avid quilter, she has donated many large quilts for community fund raisers.
Honoring Joanie’s wishes, a private memorial service will be held in Maine.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Joanie’s memory may be made to the American Cancer Society.
