She fiercely loved and was tremendously proud of her children and grandchildren.

Along with her parents, she was pre-deceased by a daughter, Jennifer Jones in 1974 and her brother, Joseph Payne and his wife Susan.

She will be forever loved and remembered by her children, John Jones and his wife Stephanie of Goffstown, NH and Angela Fahey of Sanford, ME; four grandchildren, Sophia, Ava, Bronson and Ethan; two sisters, Lucy Capps and Mary Jane and her husband Michael Schumacher, and several nieces and nephews.
