Greta Lou Jones 79, passed away peacefully December 7, 2019.
She was born n November 9, 1940 to Logan & Bannie Keith in Pound, Virginia. She graduated from Springfield High School in 1958.
Greta retired from Columbian Chemicals Co. where she was an executive secretary. She was a lifelong member of the Akron Baptist Temple, where she used her talent to sing in the choir & Praise Team. Over the years she played the piano for several Gospel quartets, trios & soloists. Her God given talent truly was her ability to play the piano. She never had a lesson & couldn’t read a bit of music; she played solely by ear.
Preceded in death by her parents, sister Carol Pritt & husband Ron Jones. She is survived by her brother Don (Virginia) Keith, daughter Wendee (Bobby) Parks, son Tom (Barbara) Park, grandchildren Payton& Pavin Parks; Shae, Rudy & Mia Park; Cody & Kayla Jones.
Even though Alzheimer’s made it difficult for her to remember many things, Greta never forgot the words to a hymn or the scriptures she loved all her life.
While she will be greatly missed, we are happy her mind is whole and that she was welcomed into Heaven by her Lord and Savior where she will continue to sing in the choir forever.
