John E Jones Memorial
On Friday, December 1, 2023, at the age of 95, John Edward Jones bid a fond farewell to those he loved.
John was born on February 23, 1928, in Battle Creek, Michigan to John Cecil Jones and Clara Maria Fastnow. Several years later, his sister Betty Ruth Sharpsteen (Jones) was born into the family. John enlisted in the Army after high school and served in South Korea. At the end of the war, John enrolled at the University of Michigan where he graduated with a BS in Electrical Engineering. John married Barbara Ann Williams (Abrahamson) and together with her two children moved to Port Clinton, Ohio. John loved sail boating, so Port Clinton and Lake Erie was a perfect fit. John was a long-time and valued employee of Ajax Magnethermic, selling Induction Heating Technology to auto manufacturers. The couple eventually retired to Arizona. John was preceded in death by his parents, sister Betty, first wife Barbara, and his stepson Bruce Williams.
John is survived by his second wife Barbara Ann Luetters. He met Barbara after first meeting at the Mac Computer Club in Green Valley, AZ. They enjoyed many loving moments during their time together in Arizona, then Texas. They also traveled throughout Europe and the US. John is also survived by his stepson Craig Williams and his step grandchildren Racheal Wilkins, Paige Williams, Cole Williams, Barbara June Williams, and Aiden Williams, and countless extended family members.
