November 23, 2024, Darlene "Doll" Jones was called home. Matriarch of the Hill & Jones families, many remain to celebrate her life, many hold tight to memories of her that brighten their hearts. In her time here Doll exemplified unconditional love and symbolized a way of being the best us that we can be. Doll captivated us with her humor and wit, she strengthened us with her resilience and pride, and she guided us with her wisdom and compassion.
