Dr. William E. Jones
(Bill), 87, of Halifax, passed away peacefully on
Sunday, June 16, 2024. Born in Sackville, NB, he was the son of the
late Jennie and Fred Jones.
Bill lived a long, happy, and healthy
life with his loving wife of 65 years, Norma Jones, and their four
daughters: Mary Ellen Nurse (Andrew), Jennifer Jones (Mike), Sarah
Jones (Lawrence), and Katherine Jones. He took great pride in his
family, especially his 8 grandchildren: Hayden Nurse (Meaghan), Noah
Jones (Melissa), Bryn Nurse (Justin), Connor Hagar (Madison), Melody
Hagar, William Jones, Molly Jones, and Myles Jones, who will all
dearly miss him.
In his early life, Bill began his career
as a chemistry professor at Dalhousie University. In 1989, he became
Dean of Science at St. Mary’s University and later served as Vice
President at Windsor University in Ontario. Even after retiring, he
remained dedicated to research, fueled by his passion for
academia.
Bill and Norma cherished each summer at
their cottage in Murray Corner, NB., where Bill could often be found
mowing the lawn, tending the garden, woodworking, playing cards, or
swimming in the Northumberland Strait. Bill liked to stay busy, and he
was always looking for new projects or obstacles to
tackle.
Bill will be fondly remembered for his
warmth, wisdom, and dedication to his family and
friends.
