She was preceded in death by her husband, Wayne Leon Jones whom she married in 1957 and her baby daughter, April Marie Jones. She was always known as Mega, Grandma or GG to everyone. Mega made the best chicken noodles and cinnamon rolls in town. Always full of energy and life and never had a bad thing to say about anyone.
