A TIME TO BE BORN

Wilmer (Bill) Jones, the son of the late Levy Jones, Sr. and Rosetta Corum Jones was born October 18, 1932, in Bull Run Mountain, Haymarket, Virginia.

A TIME TO LIVE

Bill was educated in the Haymarket School System, but his love for God's earth came forth with talent and relentless growth in education of landscaping after leaving High School.  He started his own Landscaping Business, as well as mentoring others as to how to start their own business in that industry.

His spiritual education began at the Olive Branch Baptist Church for 17 years before the family moved to Merrifield, VA where the family attended First Baptist Church of Merrifield.

A TIME TO LOVE

His love of life grew with 8 daughters. Diane, Hazel (Jackie), Carol, Donna, Brenda, Shelia, Wilma (Niecy), and Karen.

He has left such a beautiful lasting impression on all he came in contact with. No one could ever say a bad thing about Bill. His smile, his laughter, pulled you into his soul of happiness.

A TIME FOR FUN

Today, we rejoice in the life of Bill Jones. Everyone had different pet names for him, but the most popular one was from his nieces and nephews" Farmer". He was the life of family functions, always had the family in laughter and joy. He gave us courage, he gave us mentoring, he gave us a kick in the "you know where" when needed (use your imagination). But the time we had him with us was always filled with happiness and joy.

A TIME TO DIE

With his abundant grace and mercy, our heavenly father whispered to our beloved Wilmer (Bill) "Come and rest in me". On Tuesday, May 7, 2024, at his residence he went home to be with his Lord and Savior. His parents, one daughter: Wilma (Niecy), his Siblings: Mamie, Dorothy, Rosetta, Wallace, and Levy, Jr. Three brother-in-laws: Fred Sr, Henry and Thomas; One son-in-law: Charles preceded him in death.

A TIME TO MOURN

He leaves to cherish precious memories with his beloved dog Princess, his youngest brother Lewis, children: Diane (Dwight), Jackie (Lenny), Carol, Donna, Shelia (Dan), Brenda and Karen; numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great-grandchildren; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

A TIME TO REJOICE

Today, as we celebrate the life of Wilmer (Bill).  God has taken our dear Father to his just reward. We rejoice in the fact that he has no more tears, pain or sorrow as he is resting in the bosom of Jesus.  We rejoice in the fact that our great God gave us this jewel for ninety-one (91) years, six (6) months, and nineteen (19) days.  Finally, we rejoice in the fact that even though he is absent from the body, he is present with the Lord.  Praise the Name of our God!

Love Notes from the Heart!

We saw you getting tired and weary over the last year and kept giving us hints of not being able to make it anymore here on earth. But no one can truly prepare for this void we feel in our life today. We will miss your physical presence so much; especially Father's Day and Christmas Celebrations. But we all know that weeping may endure for a night, but joy will come in the morning. See you in glory!!!

With all our love and respect!

Diane, Jackie, Carol, Shelia, Donna, Brenda, Karen

***************

As we think back on the years that we shared together and all the positive influences you have had on our lives. You were truly blessed to know having 3 generations represents the love of your legacy. We have reflected on good times that we all shared, and we are so thankful to God for allowing us to have you for this time. You exemplified the true definition of a father, grandfather, great grandfather, and great, great grandfather. We watched you walk in all those titles wearing all those hats with love. We loved you very much, but God loved you more.

Your Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren, Great, Great Grandchildren
