Obituary of Amelia Margaret Jones

Margaret Amelia Jones cherished mother, grandmother and sister passed away on Friday, October 10, 2008 at the age of 92 years Margaret was the middle child of nine, born and raised on the prairies in Youngstown, AB. She married Stuart in 1935 and they initially lived in several small Alberta towns and then Edmonton, Houston, Texas, Calgary and Banff until she and Stuart retired to Kelowna in 1979.
