Luvena Marie Jones

Luvena Marie Jones, 94, is with her Lord and Sav­ior fol­low­ing her death Sun­day, July 1, 2012 which occurred at Bucyrus Com­mu­nity Hospital.

She was born July 29, 1917 in Galion to the late Alfred and Estella (Paste) Post. Luvena was a 1935 grad­u­ate of Galion High School and on June 26, 1937 she mar­ried J. Howard Jones. Pas­tor Jones pre­ceded her in death on May 3, 1996 fol­low­ing 59 years together. Also pre­ced­ing her in death are an infant son, Stephen Robert Jones; broth­ers, Lee, Arvine, Rus­sell and Elmer Post; and sis­ters, Laura Dell Peaslee and Geneva Dabney.

She is sur­vived by two sons, David (Shirlee) Jones of Chat­tanooga, Tenn. and Daniel Jones of Shelby; and one foster-daughter, Lil­lian (Billy) Mar­tin of Bucyrus with whom Luvena resided. She is also sur­vived by four grand­chil­dren, six great grand­chil­dren, nieces and nephews and a host of friends.

Luvena was a devout Chris­t­ian who loved her daily morn­ing devo­tions and even when her vision became poor, she enjoyed lis­ten­ing to the word of God on CD. She and her hus­band were char­ter mem­bers of Cal­vary Bap­tist Church in Bucyrus where he served as Pas­tor and she was active as a Sun­day School teacher, choir mem­ber and made sure the chil­dren had sup­plies for Vaca­tion Bible School.

She was a lov­ing mother who cared for her fam­ily as a home­maker and in her ear­lier years, she typed envelopes for National Mail­ing Ser­vice, a busi­ness owned by her brother. She cooked good meals, loved eat­ing choco­late pie and, later in life, enjoyed going for rides in the car as long as Billy drove below the speed limit.

Luvena loved spend­ing time with her fam­ily. There were many reunions and get togeth­ers and they spent many Sat­ur­days at Lake Erie swim­ming. Her hob­bies included play­ing games such as Uno, Phase 10 and Skip-Bo was her favorite. She also liked watch­ing game shows, doing word searches and watch­ing nature from the com­fort of her home. She will be missed, but she is together again with her hus­band whom she so loved as well as other fam­ily and friends.

Call­ing hours will be held from 5–8 p.m. Mon­day, July 2 at Wise Funeral Ser­vice in Bucyrus where funeral ser­vices will be held 11:00 a.m. Tues­day with Pas­tor Ken Lance offi­ci­at­ing. Bur­ial will fol­low in Oak­wood Cemetery.
