Obituary

Annie M. "Peggy" Jones, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, great- grandmother, friend, and servant of the Lord died Saturday in Abernathy and has gone to be with Christ.

She was born June 28, 1914, in Paris, Texas, to Virgle and Mary Siddle. She married Clovis Ward Jones on April 22, 1939, and they moved to Abernathy in 1952. Her smile was her sword, her strength was her shield, and service to others her God-given talent. Annie blessed countless lives with her beautiful, kind smile and expressions of true love and concern for all who knew her. She worked serving others at the Abernathy ISD cafeteria for nine years, Hale Center Hospital for 13 years, and after retirement continued to serve others as a foster grandparent for the Lubbock State School for eight years. She was preceded in death by her beloved sons, Jerry Don Jones and Virgle Glenn Jones, and her husband Ward Jones, all who welcome her to heaven with loving arms. She is survived by her daughters, Mary Jo Hawkins of Lubbock, Jackie Tatum of Mansfield, and N. Kay Jones of Lubbock; nine grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; a sister; and a brother. The void left in the lives of those who loved her is immeasurable, but we will follow her example and her wishes, living in joy and service, and resting in the comfort and grace of her undying love.
