On December 12, 2021 God sent his angels to escort Rev. Gloria Jones to her heavenly home.  Rev. Jones was born on October 12, 1930 to the late Joseph Howell Jones Sr., and Fannie B. Jones. She was also preceded in death by her brother, Sterling Jones. Rev. Jones served as a substitute teacher for many years.

She professed her belief in Christ at an early age and was a member of Dearington Baptist Church in Lynchburg. Rev. Jones was adamant about putting the Lord first and served him faithfully. She had a passion to administer the word of the gospel to everyone she met.

She leaves to cherish her memories: A niece, Gwendolyn "Diane" Thompson, of Lynchburg, VA ; Cousins, Latrice Thompson , of Washington, DC, Tonia Hankins (Eric) of Fort Worth, TX, Patricia Beckwith and Rolanda Beckwith, of Fuquay-Varina, NC.
