Alice Jones

Alice Bernice Farmer Jones, 81, of Urania, passed from this life on Saturday, January 13, 2024, at her residence.

She was born February 27, 1942 in Holly Ridge, LA to the union of her parents, Clyde Jefferson Farmer Sr. and Rita Bertha Aaron Farmer.

Alice was such a loving person. She grew up at Selma Baptist Church where she loved music and playing the piano. Alice was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend.

Alice never complained about anything she did.

Interment will follow in the Urania Cemetery, under the direction of Riser Funeral Home.

Those left to cherish her memory include her husband of 65 years, Paul Neal Jones; daughter, Lisa Jones Cooper (Doug); grandchildren, Kolby Murry, McKynsli Montpelier (Caston) and Alisha Cooper; great-grandchildren, Shaun Murry, Kolton Murry, Adalinn Montpelier, Karlee Campbell, Emily Breithaupt, Landry Knight, Kaina Smith (Chaney), Kylie Smith and Kortlyn Sloan; a greatgreat- grandchild, Asher Kincaid; sisters, Dot Glidewell and Margaret Coleman; and her brothers, James Farmer (Nona) and Leon Farmer (Laurie).
