Clarence Jones. She was faithful in attending Sunday service, prayer meetings, and bible study. One member in particular, she took back and forth to her many doctor’s appointments until the member passed. She was always willing to pick up members of the church. Jean enjoyed reading her bible and the inspirational books her brother Charley would send her. Jean was on the quiet side, kind and generous. She loved The Lord.
