A Life Well Lived 

Ruby V. Jones, 79, of Bladensburg, Maryland, passed away suddenly on June 17, 2020. Her Almighty God sent His angels to bring Ruby to her Final Resting Place. 

Ruby was born on March 27, 1941 in Columbia, PA, to the late Minor and Kathleen (Cannon) Brown. She graduated from Columbia High School in 1960. After high school, Ruby had many careers, including being a master barber, tool and die maker, and City of Lancaster clerk, before finally retiring as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in Lanham, Maryland. Her four beloved children, Mechelle, Patrice, Scott and Stacey blessed her life tremendously. Ruby was a compassionate God-loving woman, who loved her family and treasured quality time with them, especially her grandchildren. 

Ruby relished spending hours in nature and was very talented and creative. She enjoyed drawing, painting, and in later years, coloring in her adult coloring books. She loved working with her hands. In fact, she was very facile with tools; she built furniture, cabinets, stools, and lamps from scrapped materials. She also loved singing gospel music and reading her Bible. Sister Ruby was a devoted member of First Baptist Church of Highland Park, Landover, MD.

Ruby leaves behind to cherish her memory her three children, Mechelle Jones of San Francisco, CA, Scott Jones (Sunshine) of Ewing Township, New Jersey, Stacey Jones (Leonard Caston, fiancé) of Lanham, Maryland, ex-son-in law David Cattell of Wilkinsburg, Pa, son- in-law, Alfred Caraway of College Park, Maryland, six grandchildren, Andrew, Timothy, LaShonda, Jannai, Corey, and Chase, a great grandson, Khalid, three siblings, Emma Green and Wesley Brown, both of Columbia, PA, and Elaine Poindexter (Jerry) of Kissimmee, FL, and a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, and extended family. 

Ruby was preceded in death by her parents, Minor Brown and Kathleen Cannon Brown, daughter, Patrice Jones Caraway, and four siblings, Geneva Makle, Eugene Cannon, Cleon Cannon, and Nathaniel Brown. 

Ruby generously dedicated her life to her family, thus leaving them with riches untold in death. She will be remembered for a lifetime because of her warm spirit and sweet personality. Ruby’s legacy of love and faith in God will guide her loved ones as they carry the torch to keep her memory alive.
