Betty Jones

August 3, 1943 - January 25, 2020

Betty Lou Jones, 76, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Saturday, January 25, 2020. Betty was born on August 3, 1943 in Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania and graduated from Rostraver High School. She lived in Frankfort for the last five years to be closer to family but had spent her first 71 years in her beloved Western Pennsylvania. Her biggest joy was being a mom to Mike and Brian. She was their biggest fan and was proud of the accomplishments of both of her boys. She loved visits from her family, especially time spent with her grandchildren. Betty was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan and she enjoyed reading, solving word puzzles, and crocheting. During her years in Pittsburgh she worked for West Penn Hospital, Guys and Dolls Bowling Alley, Health America, Summers and Kaminski Eye Care, and Vincett Eye Care Associates. Betty is survived by her husband of 51 years, John; sons Michael (Emily) Jones of Georgetown and Brian (Ellen) Jones of Waxhaw, NC; grandchildren Teagan, Ryan, & Nolan; sisters Dorothy (Harry) Upperman and Lucille (Norman) Geary; sisters-in-law Olive McMinn and Claudia (Paul) Agnew; and eight nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents Martin & Harriett McMinn and brothers Robert and Bruce McMinn. There are no services as Betty wanted people to remember the beautiful woman she was and not mourn her passing. As much as her family will miss her, they will celebrate the caring woman she was and hold her always in their memories. Her family would like to thank the staff at the University of Kentucky Neuro ICU and especially the nurses and caregivers at Bluegrass Care Navigators for their care and support the last week of her life. Arrangements are under the direction of Harrod Brothers Funeral Home & Crematory.
