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. She accomplished so much in her life. She could cook, paint, do crafts, sew anything she wante and could make cakes and flower arrangements like no other. Alice was a beautician and worked for years until she retired and became a homemaker. She canned vegetables, made jelly and continued spoiling her husband and family. Alice never complained about anything she did.

Services will be held at 1 p.m., Wednesday, January 17, 2024, at Riser Funeral Home, Olla, LA.

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

She was preceded in death by her parents; her siblings, Ruth Dotson and Pete Farmer; granddaughter, Ashley Cooper Knight; and five brothers-in-law, Gerald Glidewell, R.B. Jones, Richard Franklin, Henry Dotson and James Coleman.

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).
