Bernice was a wonderful cook and collected hundreds of cookbooks and recipes. She also volunteered to prepare meals at the Samaritan Soup Kitchen. She loved to travel with her husband Joe and collected all kinds of rocks as souvenirs. Bernice loved to read, had a feisty wit, and was never afraid of saying what she thought about a situation. She was blessed with a wonderful community of friends at Arbor Acres and will be greatly missed. Bernice Jones is survived by her loving husband of 59 years, Joseph F. Jones of Arbor Acres; daughter, Martha Nading and son-in-law Art Nading of Greensboro, NC; son, Joseph Jones, Jr. and daughter-in-law, DiAn Kempf Jones of Charlotte, NC; two grandsons, Henry Nading and Tom Nading.
