Myrtle E. Jones went to be with her Lord on September 28, 2011 at the Troy Care and Rehabilitation Center, Troy, Ohio after a brief illness. She was born March 23, 1926 to James and Rosella Jones Parkinson in East Liverpool, Ohio but grew up in Natrona Heights, PA. She was married for 49 years to her loving husband, Glenn E. Jones who preceded her in death on October 11, 1994. Besides her parents and husband she was preceded in death by 12 brothers and sisters. She is survived by one daughter and son-in-law, Cheryl and Arnold "Ken" Wessman, Jr., four grandchildren, Steven Lindsay Kelly, Heather Kelly, Sandra Kelly Turand Humphrey and Arnold Kenyon Wessman, III, eight great-grandchildren, Daniel Roberts, Randall Roberts, Charisse Kelly, Michaela Humphrey, Alexis Humphrey, Madison Kelly, Isaiah Kelly and Miles Kelly, two great-great grandchildren, Darian Roberts and Leila Roberts. She is also survived by one brother, Delbert "Pete" Parkinson of Natrona, PA and numerous nieces and nephews. Myrtle formerly worked at Val-U Dress Shop and Montgomery Ward. She was a long-time member of Troy Gospel Tabernacle where she taught Sunday school and Junior Church for nearly 40 years stopping only when her illness prohibited her. Her true loves in life were her children's ministry and her family. Her door was always open and over the years many of her extended family had spent time living with her. The message her family will remember that she taught them and by which she lived is "Be Kind". Services will be held 11:00AM Monday, October 3, 2011 at the Baird Funeral Home, Troy, Ohio with the Pastor Ervan Holland officiating. Interment will follow in the Miami Memorial Park in Covington, Ohio. The family will receive friends from 3:00-5:00PM Sunday, October 2nd at the funeral home.
