Wilma was born November 21, 1938, in Birch Run Township, Michigan, to the late Loman and Ilean (Holmes) Mann. On August 19, 1961, she married the love of her life, Buck Jones.

Wilma was a born caregiver. She was always ready to help and offer thoughtful guidance whenever she saw someone in need. She earned her nursing degree while raising four children and worked for nearly thirty years. She retired from Flint Osteopathic Hospital in 1993. She and Buck enjoyed their retirement on Black River in Cheboygan, Michigan, creating wonderful memories with family and loved ones.

Wilma is survived by her children Jeff Jones, Patricia Ortiz, Stephanie (Jerry) Coleman and Greg (Dana) Jones; grandchildren Jessica (Ryan) Ortiz-Farley, Tarah (Kevin) Ortiz-Durnbaugh, Chase Jones, Rachel Burke, Marissa Ockerman, Ethan Coleman, Abagail Coleman, Charlotte Coleman, Tyler Jones and Cole Jones; great-grandchildren Ivy and Linus Durnbaugh, Jack Farley, and newborn Beckett Burke.

She is preceded in death by her husband of 58 years, Buck Owen Jones; her parents; sisters Margie, Judy, Dessie, Nellie, and Margaret; and brothers Elbert, Lloyd and Billie.

We are comforted knowing she left us to reunite with her beloved Buck and many long-missed loved ones.
