Jane R Jones

Jane (Roberts) Jones, 88, of Ormond By The Sea, FL, formerly of Rome, NY and recently staying in CT, passed away with her loving family by her side on Friday, March 3, 2023 after a brief illness. Jane was born July 7, 1934 in Utica, NY and lovingly adopted and raised by her parents, Ruth & Stanley Roberts. She was a graduate of Rome Free Academy, worked at Montgomery Ward, Margo Studio and New York Telephone Co. After moving to Florida in 1985, Jane worked briefly at a few restaurants and also started a couple of small businesses as well as social groups.

Jane enjoyed many years with her long time love, Buddy, socializing, dancing, playing darts and “living her best life” with friends and family. In her younger years Jane traveled to the northeast regularly to spend time with her family and grandchildren whom she adored. She was strong yet loving, and you never doubted that love even when she was being a bit tough.

She was predeceased by her partner of 15 years, George (Buddy) Currie and her niece Lindsay Dailey.

She is survived by her daughter, Cindy (Jon) Jones-Tagliaferri of Norwich, CT and grandchildren, Tiffany (Chad) Campbell of Norwich, CT, John (Andrew) Cingranelli of Lisbon, CT and Josh (Kristi) Cingranelli of Lisbon, CT, her two great grandsons, Aidan & Brady Cingranelli, her sister, Judy (Ron) Dailey, niece Cassidy Dailey and nephew Ryan (Michelle) Dailey.

The family would like to thank Jane’s caregiver of several years, Kim Nolan, for the loving care she gave to Jane and treating her like her own family. We were blessed to have such a special person in her, and our, lives.

The family invites you to join them for a celebration of life Saturday, March 18th at 1 pm at Filomena’s Restaurant, 262 Boston Post Rd. Waterford, CT (the family will also have another service in Rome, NY in the spring which will be announced at a later date). In lieu of flowers, please donate to your local Humane Society.
