Webster Jones

Webster Jones, a much loved husband, father, brother, uncle and cousin departed this life peacefully at Hospice of Dayton on Saturday August 19, 2017 in Dayton, OH at the age of 82.

Webster was preceded in death by his parents, son John Wesley and brother Ben L. Scott. He is survived by his loving wife of 65 years Frances Jones; children, Bradley Jones, and Tracy (Jones) Ogg all of Huber Heights, OH.; Sisters Minnie May (James) Rowe of Colorado Springs, CO; and Lovie V. Horton of Milan, TN.

Webster was born on September 25, 1934 in Milan, (Gibson Co.) TN. At an early age he accepted Christ, as his personal Savior and joined Bluff Spring Missionary Baptist Church. Webster graduated Gibson Co. Training School/Polk-Clark School in Milan, TN in 1952, and married Frances, his high school sweetheart. In May of 1955, Webster enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and began his military career supervising transportation and supply at various bases in the U.S. and overseas. In 1963, the couple welcomed son Bradley, the first of 2 children into their home, daughter Tracy arrived in 1966. As Webster would probably tell you, he served "21 years, 7 months, and 13 days". He retired from active duty in 1976 and continued in civil service capacity at Wright Patterson AFB, OH until retiring again in 1994.

Webster was a generous and funny individual who loved his family and friends. He had 7 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren and a much loved extended family. He was passionate about cooking and cars. His "low and slow" BBQ ribs and Thanksgiving cornbread stuffing were always in high demand. His love of cars was displayed beautifully in the Street Rods he and his friends would restore and show.
