On Friday May 4, 2018, Judy Jones lost her thirteen year struggle with Alzheimer's/Dementia. Judy was the first daughter born on July 17, 1947 in Winnsboro, Louisiana to her parents B.O. and Fay Robertson. Judy grew-up in Winnsboro and graduated from Winnsboro High School in 1965. Throughout her high school years, Judy was very active in the high school band. She became an accomplished flautist, oboist and mastered the piccolo. At the same time, she excelled at piano and participated in many competitions.
After graduation, Judy attended Northeast Louisiana State College. In 1963 at age 16, she had her first date with a 21 year-old Don Jones. In 1967 they married. After a brief stop in Mississippi, Judy and Don moved to Conway, Arkansas where Don was employed as an Instructor in History at State College of Arkansas. Later, Judy took piano classes at the University of Central Arkansas and taught piano in her home.
Judy’s association with UCA began when she went to work in the Financial Aid Office. Later, she moved to Psychology and Counseling department as secretary, and concluded her career working in the UCA Archives in Torreyson Library. In August 2010, Judy retired after some 30 years of service to UCA.
In 2016, when Judy’s medical condition worsened, she moved to Seeds of Love in Greenbrier, Arkansas. In July 2017, Judy celebrated her 70th birthday with family and friends, and later in August, Judy and Don observed their 50th wedding anniversary. Throughout her life Judy enjoyed music, traveling, and visiting her grandchildren and later great-grandchildren. Some of Judy’s happiest moments involved her travels to France and Paris. In addition, she loved eating boiled crawfish in New Iberia, Louisiana.
Surviving is her husband, Don Jones of Conway, Arkansas and her three sons Tom Jones and wife Becky of Miami, Oklahoma, Jason Jones of Chandler, Arizona, and Micah Jones of Conway, Arkansas. Also, her granddaughters Paige Henson and husband Nick, Charity Jones, and grandson Dax Jones all of Miami, Oklahoma. Great grandchildren Cooper and Dawson Henson of Miami, Oklahoma. Survivors also include a sister Jenny Roberts and husband Russell of Extension, Louisiana, brothers Eddie Robertson of Independence, Louisiana and Richard Robertson and wife Bonnie of Little Rock, Arkansas. She is also survived by eight nieces and nephews.
The family extends its gratitude to Dr. J. Brad Tilley and his staff at Tilley Family Medicine for their kindness and understanding. The staffs of Kindred Hospice and Nurse Erin were very attentive to Miss Judy’s needs during the course of her last year.
Many, many thanks to the caregivers at Seeds of Love for their love and compassion: Crystal, Jan, Keisha, Jo, Star, Jeanice, Alana, Morgan, Stephanie and Laci.
A debt of gratitude to Jimmy and Jann Bryant for their assistance in planning and participating in the celebration of the life of Judy Jones.
