Mom was a true Southern lady, a wonderful wife and homemaker, fantastic cook, loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother to several generations. She loved her Corgis, reading, gardening, and was a passionate baseball fan, following Houston teams from the time she rode the streetcar with her dad to Buff Stadium to attending Astros games at Minute Maid Park.
Betty was predeceased by her husband, Ludwell in 1985 and daughter-in-law, Mary Quirk Jones, in 1993. She is survived by L. Ludwell Jones, III and wife Linda Parker of Fort Worth, Texas, Eldon Lewis Jones and wife, Pilar Jones of New York, and Elizabeth Sanford Jones Reel of Houston. Her grandchildren are Christopher D. Jones, L. Ludwell Jones, IV, Geoffrey K. Jones, Terrence B. Jones, Malinda L. Jones, Christian H. Parker, R. Justin Jones, Eric R. Reel, Elizabeth Sanford Reel Seidensticker, and Stephanie Clay Reel Hannam. She has 16 great grandchildren.
The family would like to express our gratitude and thanks to the staff at The Abbey and especially Yolanda Gant for the loving care and preservation of dignity in her final days.
A family graveside service will be held at Historic Hollywood Cemetery Tuesday, April 5th, 2011, at 12:30 PM. In lieu of flowers, please make contributions to a favorite charity.
