Joan Miller Jones

No visitation or funeral services will be held as it was Joan’s wish to be cremated, and her ashes spread along with husband George when that time comes.

Joan was born in Clifton, New Jersey to Helen and John Palka on May 27, 1930.

Joan married George Jones on June 20, 1953 in Huntington, New York. She graduated from Plattsburgh State Teachers College. Joan worked as a Home Economics teacher for 3 years, and left work to raise her family. She was involved in Arlington Women’s Club, Arlington Fine Arts Council, Encore, and Theatre Arlington Guild. Joan was an avid Bridge player, enjoyed entertaining, and spending time with her family.

Joan is preceded by her parents and her sister, Lois Palka McCord.

Joanie is survived by husband George, children Nancy Jones and husband, Rusty Berry, Karen Green and husband Lex and Beth Jones, sisters Jane Borick, Barbara Brimlow, Dawn Mason, Iris Engel and brother Walter Keller, grandson Jeffrey Connolly and many loving nieces and nephews.

Memorials may be given to Community Hospice of Texas – Arlington Inpatient Unit, 800 W. Randol Mill Road, Arlington, TX 76012.

The family wishes to extend our sincere thanks to Dr. Michelle Burzynski, care giver Cindy Elkin and the staff at Community Hospice, Arlington, Texas.
