Virginia E. Jones, 95, of Eugene,  OR, passed away peacefully on March 3, 2025, from age-related causes.  Born on August 13, 1929, in Leedey, OK, during the depths of the Great Depression, Virginia was the youngest of eight children, sharing her birth date with her twin brother, Vern Butler.  She was the beloved daughter of Monroe and Rosetta Butler.

Virginia's faith in the Lord was a cornerstone of her life, and she looked forward to being reunited with Him.  She was a loving and supportive wife and mother, and her legacy lives on in the hearts of her many loved ones. 

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Jesse Jones; her sons, Larry and David Jones; and all of her siblings.  Virginia is survived by her daughter, Carol McDonald; seven grandchildren; fifteen great-grandchildren; and four great-great-grandchildren.  Her memory will be cherished by all who knew her. She will be deeply missed but her memory will live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
