Patsy Louise Jones, 78, died at 6:01 a.m., Friday, September 22, 2017 at the home of her daughter Penny, in East Alton, after a period of declining health.

She was born in Hornbeak, Tn. on March 3, 1939, and was the daughter of Zady B. and Lottie Mae (Crigger) Warix.

Her family would eventually relocate to the area, and shortly after her 18th birthday, she married Charles Maurice "Pudge" Jones.  They were married on April 4, 1957 in Jerseyville, and together they would bring seven children into the world, and share 48 years together prior to his death on June 19, 2005.

Patsy was a strong and fiercely devoted mother to her children, and stayed at home for the most part to care for the family.   At various times in her life, she was employed at the Owens-Illinois Glass Mfg. in Alton, Little White House Café in Jerseyville, and eventually retired from Beverly Farms in Godfrey.

Surviving are her five children and their spouses,  Danny Jones and Sharon Knoche of Cottage Hills, Twila Price of Jerseyville, George Jones of Jerseyville, Penny and Darryl Forsythe of East Alton, and Dwayne Jones of Jerseyville; a daughter in law, Lacey Jones of Kane; 21 Grandchildren; numerous great grandchildren; and a brother and sister in law, Chester and Violet Warix of Delhi; along with many nieces and nephews.

In  addition to her parents and her husband, she was preceded in death by an infant son, Robert Eugene Jones on March 25, 1959; another son, Donald Ray "Donny" Jones of Kane, on March 3, 2017; a son in law, Bruce Price on Jan. 30, 2017; two sisters, Mary Prather and Madge Finch; and a brother, Horace Warix.

Visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m., Monday at the Crawford Funeral Home in Jerseyville, where funeral services will be conducted at 10 a.m., Tuesday.   Her nephew, Rev. Jeff Warix will officiate.

She will be laid to rest in the Oak Grove Cemetery in Jerseyville.
