Myra Delores Jones, 83, entered into eternal rest on Feb. 19, 2024 in Laurel. Born on Oct. 18, 1940, Delores lived a life marked by gratitude, a deep respect for all of God's creation and an unwavering faith. 

She was a dedicated member of her church, Kingston Assembly of God, where she had served as a Sunday school teacher and church secretary.  

Delores was blessed with a loving family and leaves behind her devoted husband of 65 years Orlan Jones; her cherished sons Robin (Donna) Jones, Rusty (Amanda) Jones and Ryan (Danielle) Jones; her beloved daughter Nancy (Dwayne) Brashier; her adored grandchildren Andrew (Morgan) Jones, Tyler (Shelby) Jones, Lauren Brashier, Autym Brashier, Ridge Jones, Callie Jones, Colin Jones, Mary Ryan Jones, Macayla Johnson and Landon (Ashley) Johnson; her treasured five great-grandchildren; and a multitude of nieces and nephews. 

She has been greeted into the Kingdom of Heaven by her mother Bernice Powell Evans; her father Ralph A. Evans; her sister Edythe Lynn Lofton; her brother Robert A. Evans; and her grandson Austin Dwayne Brashier.

The family extends a special thank you to Delores’ wonderful caregivers and friends for the love and care that they provided.
