Lois Norine Jones

She was born on January 8th 1923 to George Oliver Day and Lois Miller Day in Elma, WA. Norine’s father sadly died ten days after her first birthday. Her mother later married a former Boistfort classmate, Hugh Lynn Morgan. Norine attended schools in Elma, Seattle, and Boistfort, and Mossyrock, graduating from Mossyrock high school in 1940. She later graduated from Business College in Seattle, WA.

Norine married Edgar Allen Jones on April 2nd 1950, uniting two Boistfort pioneer families. They spent their 73 years of marriage at the home they built on the original Jones Diary Farm. Grange membership was an important commitment for Norine. She was a member of the Baw Faw Grange for more than 70 years and earned certificates of recognition in Washington State and National Grange associations. However, family and friends were always the first priority for Norine and Edgar.

Norine was preceded in death by her parents and her brothers George Melvin Day, Donald Richard Morgan, Hugh Lynn Morgan, Joseph Exley Morgan, William Henry Morgan, as well as her sister-in-laws.

Norine is survived by her husband Edgar Jones, her sister-in-law Nellie, and her many nieces and nephews.
