James William (Bill) Jones, 82, of Grantsville, WV departed this world for his heavenly
home, on January 11, 2022.
Bill was born May 10, 1939 in Vadis, Lewis County, WV. He was the oldest of eleven
children born to the Walter and Euleta Jones of Grantsville, WV.
Those who knew Bill will tell you that he lived life to the fullest. Every day was a new
adventure for him. Chasing down the biggest buck or trying to catch the biggest catfish,
he found enjoyment in every moment. When he was not hunting or fishing you could find
him playing music with his family and friends. Bluegrass or Gospel, he found peace
picking his guitar as his good friend Nellie sang. Between adventures, you would find
him relaxing and watching a Western. Bill will always be remembered for his adventures
and the enjoyment he felt while sharing stories of those adventures.
Bill is survived by his three children, Carol Ann (Bruce) Blosser of Euclid, OH; Karen
Sue (Randy) Workman of Rosedale WV and James Michael “Bub” (Terssa) Jones of
Bigroot, WV; two grandchildren Kayla Nicolle Workman, James Michael “Little Bub”
Jones Jr; three brothers, Paul (Judy) Jones, Donzel “Nick” (Terry) Jones, Walter “Junior”
Jones; five sisters, Sharon (Dean) Stull, Mary (Dink) Bower, Judy Westfall, Charlotte
(Terry) Robinson and Debbie (Terry) Varner.
In addition to his parents, Bill was preceded in death by brother John Jones, sister
Kathryn “Kookie” Harris and granddaughter Brittany Jones.
