Helen Eileen Jones

Helen Eileen Jones (93yrs), of Charlottetown/Summerside, PEI, formerly of Hillgrove, NB, passed away Sunday, May 25 at Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Born in Hillgrove to the late Foster and Gertrude (Collier) Davis, Helen was the beloved wife of Ronald Beecher Jones.

Helen was a gardener and craftsperson extraordinaire. She used her green thumb to create magnificent flower beds to the enjoyment of those who visited her Cornwall home or Argyle Shore cottage. Her hands were never idle during fall and winter when Christmas crafts became her forte. Many PEI Christmas craft fair patrons delighted in her stained-glass creations and Christmas wreaths. Helen was a kind and loving neighbour who enjoyed sharing the company of many young people throughout her life.

Helen is survived and dearly missed by her husband of 75 years, Ronald B. Jones; her children Ronald Dwight Jones (Janice) of Grande Prairie, AB; Daniel Ian Jones (Angie) of Calgary, AB; grandchildren Brennen, Shannon, Meaghan and David; great-grandchildren Ewan, Elliot, Levi, Blakely and Sophie.

Besides her parents, Helen was predeceased by her brother Norman Davis and her sisters, Marie Chapman (Harold), Mildred Mullins (Edwin), Edna Kaye (Arnold), Vera Dempsey (Walter), Ethel Drury (Les), Elsie Tower (Royden), Phyllis Smith (Harris) and Gladys Smith (Hubert).
