Margaret Jones
March 16, 1946 - March 2, 2021
Margaret Jones, 74, sweetly entered the presence of Jesus surrounded by family at her home in Dexter, Missouri on March 2, 2021.
Margaret was born on March 16, 1946 in Wappapello, Missouri to Albert and Maggie Conner both of whom preceded her in death.
She was united in marriage on November 10, 1963 to the late Dale Louis Jones, Sr. in Puxico, Missouri. They later settled in Dexter, Missouri where they raised two sons, Dale, Jr. and Brian. They enjoyed 53 years together before Mr. Jones' death in 2016.
Margaret worked as a cook at Dexter Southwest Elementary School from which she retired after 23 years of service. Prior to that she worked for 17 years at Elder Manufacturing.
She was a faithful member of Dexter First Assembly of God Church for 28 years where she gained a reputation as a dedicated prayer warrior. Margaret's greatest passion was serving her Lord which led to her active participation in several ministries within the church including assisting in the kitchen for dinners and events, as well as serving on the pulpit committee. She had a great compassion for people, spending countless hours praying with and for those in need. One of her special gifts was sending cards to those who needed encouragement. Her crowning joy was knowing that her sons followed in her footsteps by serving the Lord.
Margaret loved to read and enjoyed browsing antique shops. She was an excellent cook known for many special dishes including her famous sausage biscuits and gravy, which she served annually at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes breakfast, and her much sought-after recipe for holiday dressing.
