Gladys Edith Jones was born May 10, 1917, to Jasper and Roxie Coon in the family's home on Miller Avenue in Chico. She passed away July 16, 2004, at the age of 87 following complications from a stroke.
When Gladys was three years old, her family moved to their newly purchased farm seven miles west of Chico. However, since there were no roads out to the ranch when it came time for Gladys to start school she and her mom moved to Durham, and she lived there until she graduated from Durham High School.
After graduation she moved back to the ranch where she lived until four years ago. Before she got married she worked at Continental Nut, Diamond Match and at the Coon almond shelling plant.
Gladys married Harold Jones in 1946, and they both quit their jobs in town and began working along side her father on the family almond ranch. Gladys is survived by her husband of 58 years; one son, Ron Jones of Chico; grandsons Daryl Jones of Chico and Greg Jones of Sacramento; and two great-grandsons. A memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m. Friday, July 23rd, at the family ranch, 9878 River Road in Chico.
