Patricia Ann Jones

“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."

- Winnie the Pooh

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Patricia Ann Jones, a beloved mother,

grandmother, sister, and friend. Patricia peacefully departed this life on Saturday, September 7,

2024, at Gordon Hospice House in Statesville, North Carolina. She was born on November 9,

1958, in San Luis Obispo, California. From her birthplace to her final residence, Patricia's life

was one of love, dedication, and cherished relationships.

Patricia was known for her loving spirit and devotion to her family. Patricia found immense joy in

spending time with her 2 daughters and her grandkids, always making sure to prioritize their

time together and instilling in them the importance of doing their best in everything they do(as

she was taught by her father). Her favorite pastime was putting together intricate picture

puzzles, a hobby she found both challenging and rewarding.

Patricia was preceded in death by her husband, Michael Jones; her father, George Marlin

Shelton; brother, Brian Hubbard; sisters, Linda Polk and Loretta Shelton, and her step father,

Herbert Hubbard.

She is survived by her loving daughters: Erika Reed, of Troutman and Siobhan (Nafis) Miller, of

Taylorsville; her treasured grandchildren: Nadya (Jacob Quinn) Reed, Tristan Easley, Nazir

Miller, Nya Miller and Elijah Daniels; mother, Ethel Hubbard, of Sparta; her dear brother George

(Nancy) Shelton of Washington; her cherished sisters, Nancy Howe of Monterey, CA, Juanita

Kuykendall of Knoxville, TN, and Wendy Hubbard; neighbor Charlene, and a host of nieces,

nephews, cousins and other family.

The family wishes to express their most heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Gordon Hospice House

for the care and support in their time of need. In honor of Patricia’s memory, and in lieu of

flowers, financial contributions can be made to the Gordon Hospice House, an organization that

provided compassionate care during her final days.

Services to celebrate Patricia’s life and legacy will be held at a later date, and her arrangements

are being lovingly handled by Nicholson Funeral Home.

Patricia Ann Jones's life was a testament to love, family, and dedication. She will be profoundly

missed by all who knew her but her spirit will continue to live on through the many lives she

touched.

“Wherever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories.”
