Sweet little Esther Louise Jones, 75, a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, cousin, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 28, 2026, leaving behind a beautiful legacy of faith in Jesus Christ, unconditional love, unlimited kindness, sacrificial living, amazing creativity, and cherished memories. Her family was her greatest earthly treasure.
Esther was a hardworking woman with a wonderfully creative spirit and a heart full of compassion. She was truly one of the kindest people you could ever meet. But more than anything, Esther was always there. She showed up. When someone needed her, she was there. When someone needed a helping hand, a listening ear, she could be counted on.
She had a remarkable way of putting others before herself. Esther gave freely of her time, her energy, her resources, and her love. She taught her family not only how to love others, but how to give sacrificially-to put someone else’s needs before their own and to serve without expecting anything in return. Her life was a living example of what it means to love selflessly.
Esther also had a wonderful sense of humor and a joy for life. She loved to dance and could bring laughter into a room with her playful spirit. Her family will always remember her Dolly Parton impersonations and the joy she brought through her creativity and personality. No one has ever made a better lasagna or turkey dressing and there wasn’t a roller coaster that she wouldn’t ride.
As a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Esther leaves behind more than memories. She leaves a legacy. She taught her family through the way she lived-to love God, love family, work hard, show up for others, give generously, and put others first.
Though our hearts are broken by her passing, we find comfort knowing that Esther is fully healed now and with God and family that she loved so dearly. We can honor her life by carrying forward the lessons she taught us and by loving others with the same selfless heart she showed us every day.
Mom, thank you for teaching us what sacrificial love looks like. Your kindness, faith, creativity, laughter, dancing, and love will live on in us and through every generation that follows. You gave so much of yourself to all of us, and we will spend our lives carrying your love forward. Until we meet again, we love you.
