Teresa Anne Jones

Teresa was a 1968 graduate of New Albany High School and went on to graduate from Cosmetology school and continued in that career up until her retirement.

Teresa was a devoted Mother and Nana to her children and grandchildren. Her family meant everything to her, and she was very protective of them all. Spending time with her family brought her so much joy.

Her health wasn’t her best friend over the past several years, but her strength pushed her through to the very end. Those that knew her may call her stubborn and she was nothing but honest with you if asked her opinion. She sacrificed for her children while instilling good morales and values within them. A better Mother could not have been asked for. Her hobbies throughout life included gardening, golf, dancing, watching “coaching” football, nascar, westerns and of course her Wednesday night lineup of Chicago Fire, PD and Med. She will be missed beyond words.

Teresa is survived by her children, Susan (Jason) Arnett and Kevin (Peggy) Mahaffey; brother Daniel (Brenda) Smith; grandchildren Josh (Tara), Kyle (Becca), Trevor, Taylor (Gabe), Karlee (Tyler); great-grandchildren Tristan, Peyton, Grayson, Jackson, Kasen, Weston, Hadley and four-legged pup Hap; Aunt Mary Parker; many cousins and other family and friends.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Bill and Joan Smith and grandson Travis Arnett.

Friends and family may gather from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 1st at Crouse-Kauber-Fraley Funeral Home 225 N. Main St. Johnstown OH 43031. A funeral service will immediately follow beginning at 1:00. Teresa will be laid to rest at Green Hill Cemetery in Johnstown, OH.
