Services have been held.
Louise Jones was born Dec. 3, 1926, in Pleasant Hope, Mo., a daughter of Rollo [7225] and Erma (Flanagan) [7229] Scroggins.
She was raised on the family farm near Bolivar, Mo., and graduated from Bolivar High School in 1944. There was a shortage of teachers because of World War II and the school board asked her to teach at Southwest Baptist College. In 1944 she taught and spent summers attending college. In 1947 she began school full time and graduated in 1949 with a bachelor's and a lifetime teaching certificate. She moved to Richland, Wash., to teach, and traveled to Alaska to attend summer school. She also participated in summer mission programs.
She married Warren Jones [48991], June 5, 1954, and they came to Oregon that summer.
She taught both full time and as a substitute and worked for Tektronix.
A member of Hillsboro Presbyterian Church, she also volunteered with Tuality Hospital in Hillsboro and Meals on Wheels.
She enjoyed flower and vegetable gardening, baking, sewing and attending her grandchildren's activities.
