Mary Isabelle Jones of Calgary passed away on the evening of Friday, June 28, 2019 at Brentwood Care Centre in Calgary at the age of 92 years.
Mary was born in St. Albert, Alberta on August 6, 1926, the third of five children to Laura and Angus Mac Donald. She married the dashing Dave Jones of Edmonton on August 14, 1953. In the following 10 years while Dave was working for Imperial Oil, they moved several times within northern Alberta and settled in Peace River where they remained until 1975. During the 10 years they had 5 daughters “The Jones Girls”, that Mary and Dave were extremely proud of.
Mary was a loving mother, a wonderful cook and gracious hostess. She loved to entertain, welcoming many friends through the years with fabulous meals and evenings of laughter over card games and charades.
Mary is lovingly remembered by her 5 daughters, Cathy (Larry), Lynda (Ron), Beverly (Roger), Terry (Glenn) and Barbara (David); 10 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren; her brother, Father Don MacDonald OFM of Edmonton; and her sister-in-law, Lorraine MacDonald of St. Albert.
Mary was predeceased by her parents, Laura and Angus MacDonald; siblings, Mark, Jessie (Dick), Tony (Tillie), granddaughter Brooke Graversen; and her husband, of 46 years Dave Jones.
A Memorial Service will be held noon at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Cochrane, Alberta on August 6, 2019 at 12:00. Condolences can be forwarded through Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services.
