Carol was born April 2, 1930 in Kansas City and graduated from Southwest High School (1947) followed by the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri, Bachelor of Science (1951). She enjoyed a life-long membership at Village Presbyterian Church, teaching Sunday school and singing in the Choir. Carol was a member of the Delta Gamma sorority, the Kansas City Young Matrons and served 30 years as a docent for the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.

Mrs. Jones was predeceased by her husband, Warren Wesley Jones in 2013, her sister Paula R. Folger in 2018 and son-in-law Ken Yarrington in 2006.

Jones (wife Michelle, children Alexandra, Carson, Addison); niece, Karen R. Rankin (husband Scott Rankin, Lauren). Words fail to express the gratitude and appreciation to lifelong friends and to the dedicated group of care providers who tended, loved and supported her, including Kindred Hospice and Right at Home, who became family to us all.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Children’s Center for the Visually Impaired, or to the Village Church Foundation.
