Gloria Mildred Leath Jones, holding the hand of her devoted husband, passed quietly into the arms of her Lord on October 25, 2021. Gloria was born in San Antonio, Texas August 1, 1924. In her early teens her family moved to Ft. Worth, Texas where she met and eventually married the love of her life, Harry Joe Jones. Together they enjoyed an incredibly full life of family, friends, world travel and adventure.
She is survived by her husband of 78 years, Harry Joe Jones, son Joe Michael Jones and wife, Carmen of Davie, Florida, son Dr. Robert Patrick Jones and wife, Terri of Savannah, Georgia and son Kevin Samuel Jones and wife Robbie of Richmond, Texas. She was known as GoGo or MoMo to her numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, grand-nieces, nephews and grand-nephews.
Gloria was a longtime resident of Missouri City’s Quail Valley community since the early 1970’s, and a member of Sugar Land Methodist Church. She loved to entertain and dinner parties with friends from all over the world were a regular occasion. Her cookbook collection would have to be seen to be believed!
The family is grateful for the care and assistance given by Kathleen, Carrie, Caitlin and Pam of Three Oaks Hospice and the staff of Chelsea Gardens where she spent her final days.
Visitation will be held at Settegast-Kopf Sugar Land on Wednesday, November 3, 2021 from 2:00 - 4:00 PM. Graveside services for family will be conducted at Ft. Worth’s Greenwood Cemetery where her mother, father and other relatives are interred.
