Jean Flowers Jones, 91, of Cary, North Carolina passed away on Thursday, March 23, 2023. She was born in Johnston County, NC on August 3, 1931 to Dick Flowers and Sadie Davis Flowers. Following her graduation from Micro High School, she earned a 2-year secretarial degree from Peace College in Raleigh. She then became employed by the NC Department of Public Instruction and worked for more than 30 years before retiring from the Department of Community Colleges.
Survivors include step-daughter Tammy Jones Russo, son-in-law Daniel Joseph Russo, beloved grandson Michael Stephen Russo, dear cousins Sue Waller, Peggy Newsome, special friend and neighbor Bonnie Rogers and many loving cousins, nieces, and nephews. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 40 years Daniel Wilbur Jones and step-son Stephen Courtney Jones.
Jean learned about hard work at an early age working in the tobacco fields with her family. Jean had a healthy appetite and always cleaned her plate. When dining out she would always comment to wait staff that it’s because she grew up in the depression. Jean had a heart of gold and always went out of her way to help others. She was also a very humble woman who never wanted to impose on others. She was much loved by all who knew her and she will be sorely missed.
Visitation with the family will be held on Tuesday, March 28, 2023 from 1:00 to 2:00 PM at Brown-Wynne Funeral Home, 200 SE Maynard Road, Cary, NC 27511. A graveside service will be held at 2:45 PM at Raleigh Memorial Park, 7501 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, NC 27612.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
