Judy Jones, age 83, passed away Wednesday, April 22, 2026. She was born in Delhi, Louisiana April 5, 1943 to Theron Otis Harper and Myrtle Marie Ross. She was a 1961 graduate of Bolton High School in Alexandria, Louisiana. She married Jimmy Spurlock Jones on September 13, 1963 in Alexandria, Louisiana and together they had four children: Kimberly Marie, born July 17, 1964 and Michelle Kaprice born August 19, 1966. They adopted James Lester Jones on December 26, 1966 at just two days old and Kyle Wesley Jones on June 4, 1969 at three days old. The two of them had also fostered many more children throughout their life together. Judy and Jimmy were married for 59 years.
Judy had her own cleaning service for many years and was a part of the Houston Chronicle as one of the first women distributors. After she left the Houston Chronicle they needed to divide up her distribution section to 6 people. One of her last jobs included working at the Waffle House where her gift of gab helped her make lifelong friends.
Her passion, though, was Little League Baseball and watching her kids, grandkids and great grandkids play sports. Her family’s second home was the Galveston Little League Field, volunteering and organizing events and groups. She also was a big part of the Galveston Treasure Ball. Judy loved working on big projects and bringing fun experiences together for everyone to enjoy.
She loved her flower garden, working on a good puzzle and going antiquing. She was fierce and outspoken but loved her family and people she considered family more than anything.
Judy had eight grandkids: Ross Jones and his wife Blake of Abilene, Texas TC Galvan of Crosby, Texas, Krystal Jones and her wife Brianna of Abilene, Texas, Tiphani Galvan of League City, Texas, Shelby Jones and his wife Branda of Stephenville, Texas, Katelyn Jones of Beaumont, Texas, Clayton Jones and his wife Shanna of Stephenville, Texas, and Tal Jones of Stephenville, Texas.
She had 12 great grandkids: Lane, Shelton, Oakleigh, Elena, Colton, Kohen, Romeo, Kaiden, Luciana, Brexton, and Corbin.
Judy is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Jimmy, and her children, Michelle and Lester. She will be missed very much.
