Mary Jo Jones
1926 – 2019
Mary Jo Jones, 93, joined her heavenly father on July 24, 2019. She was born to William Crawford and Cherbia Crawford on March 17, 1926 in Okemah, Oklahoma. She was a beloved mother, wife and grandmother and great-grandmother. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Edmond and a devout Christian. Her family always came first to her and we all knew she loved us unconditionally. I guess you could say that her hobby was her family. She never looked or acted her age in fact, she mowed her own lawn up until four years ago. She was an excellent cook and a fantastic hostess. She had such a loving, sweet, personality but could be tough when defending those she loved. She was preceded in death by her parents, two brothers, one sister and her husband Gerold and her grandson, Brad Harkins and great granddaughter Alana Matanane. She is survived by her son Jerry Jones, daughter Sherrie Harkins (Bruce),
granddaughter, Amy Bates (Chad), grandson, Jeremy Jones, and granddaughter Sarah Matanane (Josh) and granddaughter-in-law Lacey Harkins. Her great grandchildren Peyton Bates, Cole Bates, Aydin Matanane, Masyn Matanane, Isabella Matanane, and Nolyn Matanane. Gunner Harkins and Glee Harkins.
Graveside service will be held at Gracelawn Cemetery in Edmond on Monday, July 29 at 10:00 am. In lieu of flowers, donations can be given to Boys Ranch of Edmond or Samaritan’s Purse.
We would like to thank Companion Hospice and Rosa Matanane for their love and care of our mother.
