Hazel Y. Jones

Hazel Y. Jones, age 98 of Hendersonville, passed away on Tuesday, August 11, 2020. She had been a resident at The Hearth of Hendersonville since 2014. She was preceded in death by her husband of 64 years, Lt. Col. (ret.) Marion A. Jones. She is survived by a son, Paul Jones (Patti), a daughter, Pat Brewton (Charles), and her adored grandson, Danny.
“Miss” Hazel was born in Cochran, GA, and lived in numerous places around the world as an Army wife. While her husband served in the Pacific during WWII, she worked for the Air Force at the Pentagon, living in one of the women’s dormitories at the famed Arlington Farms, built to house the many who came to work in D.C. during the war. The buildings were later torn down to build what is now Arlington Cemetery. She was a long-term member of the Eastern Star, serving a term as Worthy Matron. Hobbies over her life included ceramics, crocheting, macramé, sewing, quilting, traveling, but especially bridge. She was a member of several weekly bridge clubs who played what we jokingly called “killer” bridge. Winning the pot might mean 57 cents. Her love of people and whimsical sense of humor never faded, even as dementia became an issue. She was a beautiful Christian lady who will be sorely missed.
She will be laid to rest next to her husband in the Masonic Mausoleum at Parkhill Cemetery located in Columbus, GA. Thank you, God, for letting us have her as long as You did.
