Mrs. Linda K. Jones
October 21, 1940 ~ May 18, 2023
Born in:
Toronto, OH
Resided in:
Weirton, WV
Linda K. Jones,82, of Weirton, WV passed away in her sleep on Thursday, May 18, 2023.
Linda was born on October 21, 1940, in Toronto, OH, one of three children born to Willard and Dorothy Pickell Davis.
She graduated from Steubenville Central High School in 1958. On May 2, 1964, she married George J. Jones, Jr. In their 59 years of marriage, they were blessed with a daughter, two sons, four grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
She began her professional journey as a proofreader for the Steubenville Herald Star and later served as a secretary at the Chancery Office for the Diocese of Steubenville. However, it was her thirty years of service as a beloved babysitter for Weirton Area families that truly exemplified her nurturing nature.
Linda was a member of Saint Joseph the Worker Roman Catholic Church in Weirton, where she participated in the Christian Mothers and the Prayer Shawl group. Her strong faith was a guiding force throughout her life.
In her free time, she enjoyed watching the Pirates, Steelers, and Notre Dame Football but nothing compared to her love watching her children and grandchildren participate in sports. She also enjoyed traveling to Hawaii and Germany and camping with her family when the kids were young.
Linda will be remembered for her warm heart, gentle spirit, and unwavering devotion to her family, friends, and her dogs, Hines, Willie Parker, and Mr. Rooney.
In addition to her parents, Linda was preceded in death by her brothers, David Davis, and William “Mick” Davis.
She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by her husband, George, her daughter, Marybeth Jones, her sons, Steven Jones and Christopher (Sherree’) Jones; her grandchildren, Samantha (Pat) Maack, Jacob (Jordan) Jones, Makenzie Jones, and Gabrielle Jones; her four great grandchildren, Sasha, Gerard and Leo Maack and Arthur Jones; her cousins who were close as sisters, Mary Kay (Sam) Conner and Barbara (Ralph, Jr.) Carapelotti.
Visitation will be on Sunday from 4 PM until 7 PM at the Greco Hertnick Funeral Home 3219 Main Street Weirton, WV 26062.
Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated 10 AM Monday at Saint Joseph the Worker Roman Catholic Church, Weirton.
Rev. Dennis R. Schuelkens, Jr., V.E. will preside.
Linda will be laid to rest at Saint Paul’s Cemetery, Weirton.
Memorial contributions may be made to Saint Joseph the Worker School or to Weirton Madonna High School.

George and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Linda’s passing. Linda was such an important part of our family when Devon and Patrick were growing up. She continued to be a great friend over the years. We will miss her dearly.
Dan, Patti and family

I don’t have enough words to describe Linda. She started taking car of my son when he was a baby. Daniel couldn’t say her name, so called her Nina. Marybeth was Mebeff. He could say George. Linda took him to the boy’s wrestling matches and football games. George made hurtles so Daniel could “practice”. Chris would drive him around because girls can’t resist a cute baby. He was the ring bearer when Chris and Sheree got married. I named my youngest son after the boys, Steven Christopher. Linda and her family are my family. She touched so many lives. I love you Linda.
Sincerely, Marlene Runkel

God bless,

So sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Linda as a loving mother who wanted the best for her children and was willing to do whatever it took to make that happen. We had many conversations as to how both of us could make that happen. She kept me on my toes as their teacher! May she Rest In Peace and continue her loving guidance/influence. May your fond memories be a comfort.
In sympathy
Sister Josephine
I’m sorry that I didn’t attend the visitation. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
George, Marybeth, Steven, Chris, and the Jones family,
It is with sadness I read of the passing of Linda. She was just a wonderful person always a positive and uplifting human being. My mom always enjoyed being around her. She was unselfish and really helped me out with too many things to count, in our time at Madonna. May God grant her soul rest, and comfort for all of you.
