Christina Jones
1947-2018
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Christina Jones,
loving wife of 46 years to Louis J. Jones, announces her passing,
which occurred on Sunday, January 7, 2018 at the Saint John Regional
Hospital. Born in Glasgow, Scotland on March 1, 1947, she was a
daughter of the late Patrick and Christine (Gilligan)
McCarthy.
The most important thing in Christina’s life was
her family for whom she was a source of great love and support. Her
career as a school teacher began in Glasgow, and continued in Toronto,
where she moved in 1968 and met Louis in 1970. She loved to learn, and
went back to university in Louis’ home province of PEI,
where the family lived for many years. She also taught here in Saint
John. A woman of deep faith, Christina attended both St.
Joachim’s and the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception,
and was a member of the CWL.
In addition to her husband, Louis, Christina will be missed
by her children: Rachel Jones, Anna Jones, Paula Jones and Brendan
Jones; her precious grandchildren, Aidan Holden-Jones, Kieran Jones
and Dane Guitard; her siblings, Sister Mary McCarthy, Hannah McCarthy,
Elizabeth McCarthy and Joseph McCarthy (Mary); as well as several
nieces and nephews and all those whose lives she touched. Christina
was predeceased by her parents, and a brother John
McCarthy.
