Linda S. Jones, a cherished soul whose presence brought warmth and joy to all who knew her, passed away peacefully on May 21, 2026, in her hometown of Newport News, VA, just five days shy of her 84th birthday. Born on May 26, 1942, in Newport News, she lived a life filled with love, laughter, and an unwavering dedication to those she held dear.
Linda dedicated much of her professional life as an Accounting Clerk at Ashville Mica, where her meticulous nature and commitment to excellence were admired by colleagues and friends alike. Beyond her work, Linda found immense joy in the simple pleasures of life. An avid reader, she could often be found lost in the pages of a good book, her imagination taking her on journeys far and wide.
Her love for nature was evident in her passion for birdwatching, where she found peace and beauty in the fluttering wings of her feathered friends. Linda cherished her lifelong friendships with Dreama and Carolyn, with whom she shared countless memories and heartfelt conversations. She had a special fondness for playing card games and Rumicube, activities that brought her closer to family and friends, filling the room with laughter and camaraderie.
Linda’s love for people was boundless, and her family was the cornerstone of her happiness. A beloved aunt and sister, she leaves behind her loving niece Kim and her beautiful family, who will forever hold her memory in their hearts. Her kindness, generosity, and infectious spirit touched everyone she met, leaving a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Preceded in death by her parents, Nancy and Coy D. Jones, and her beloved sisters Virgie Sanders and Nancy Karnes, and her brother C.D Jones, Linda is now reunited with them in eternal peace. Her legacy lives on through the lives she touched and the love she shared.
As we remember Linda, let us celebrate a life well-lived, a heart full of love, and a spirit that inspired us all to cherish every moment and embrace those we hold dear. She will be profoundly missed but never forgotten.
