Alice Jones passed away
peacefully on July 21,
2022, at the age of 91. She
was the youngest of five
children born to John and
Sarah Valentine of Akron,
Ohio.
After graduating high school in 1949, Alice moved to
Los Angeles, CA to live with her sister. That is where, in
the fall of 1952, she met Roy Jones. Upon seeing Alice
for the first time, Roy said, “I’ve got to meet that gal!”
They were married March 13, 1953, and honeymooned
in Aspen, CO. Alice and Roy welcomed two sons while
living in L.A. In the fall of 1958, they moved their
family to Colorado.
Alice was at home on the ski slopes of Colorado,
skiing until the age of 83. In addition to skiing, life for
Alice was full of outdoor picnics, family reunions, and
travel. As the daughter of Scottish and Irish emigrants,
she was very proud of her roots. She delighted in her
three grandchildren and five great grandchildren. She
leaves a legacy of hospitality and love of family.
Alice is survived by her husband of 69 years, Roy;
sons, John (Liz) Jones of Grand Junction, CO and Craig
(Margie) Jones of Stillwater, MN; grandchildren, Katie
(Jared) Johnson, Trevor (Melody) Jones, and Erik Jones;
great grandchildren, Elsie, Addison, Lavender, Ella, and
Nathan; and numerous beloved nieces and nephews.
The family held a wake to celebrate Alice’s life on
July 24th.
