Marion Jones Jr. Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Marion Jones Jr., 83, departed life on November 10, 2017, at Indiana University Methodist Hospital, Indianapolis, Ind., after a courageous fight. Marion was formerly of Freedom, Pa. He was born May 4, 1934, and was the second of two sons of the late Francis Marion Jones and Alice Carson Jones. Commonly referred to as “Uncle Jr.,” Marion was united in matrimony to Mercedes “Aunt Tiny” Sykes Jones, to which son Michael was born. Both had preceded him in death. Marion was the founder and president of his own company and later retired after working for the Bill Estes car dealerships in Indianapolis, Ind. He had a passion for numbers and never missed an opportunity to tantalize our minds with his latest numbers puzzle. Also, preceding Marion in death was his brother, Rome Jones, and three sisters, Alvilda and Martha Jones and Fannie Zimmerman. Those left to cherish his memories include four sisters, Pansy Burton of Freedom, Thelma Glover of Washington, D.C., Alice Britt and Gloria Brown, both of St. George, S.C.; several nieces, nephews and relatives, and a special neighbor and friend, Doug Taylor of Indianapolis. His wishes were to be cremated and his final resting place to be in Freedom, Pa. There will be a private service at Oak Grove Cemetery on Friday, December 8, 2017, at 1:30 p.m. His nephew, Rev. Warren Zimmerman, will officiate. Local arrangements are entrusted to WILLIAM MURPHY FUNERAL HOME INC., 349 Adams St., Rochester.
