Mary Lynn Jones

Mary “Lynn” Anderson Jones, age 88, passed away peacefully on May 9, 2023. She was born on September 3, 1934, in Anniston, Alabama to Eunice Viola and Noah James Anderson. She attended Alexandria and Glencoe Elementary before graduating from Glencoe High School in 1952. On February 27th, 1953, she married Ray Jones in Gadsden, Alabama. Ray and Lynn made their home in Birmingham and were proud parents to a daughter and a son. Lynn attended Springville Road Community Church for many years where she formed lasting friendships. She was also talented in crochet and needle point. When she was young, she aspired to be a wife, mother, and grandmother. She not only achieved each of these titles, she was a prime example and made sure her family felt her deep love each time she saw them. She was a fabulous cook and always said, “It was made with love,” when she received a compliment from her grandchildren that affectionately called her “Nino.” She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, and her daughter, Donna Jones. She is survived by her son Steve Jones (Bobbie) of Trussville; her sister Lois Bartlett of Glencoe; and her brother Ronald Anderson (Carolyn) of Oneonta; five grandchildren, Mike Jones, Shannon Cardwell, Mallory Branaman, Jeff Jones, and Zack Jones; and ten great-grandchildren. A memorial service will be held Monday, May 15th at 10 am at Jefferson Memorial in Trussville. Visitation will be an hour prior to service. Private burial to follow.
