Monday, May 3,1993 2:00 p.m. Pleasant Grove C.M.E. Church Lincolnton, Georgia
Rev. Dennis Quinn and Rev. Roy D. Andrews, Officiating
. . . All mankind is ofone author, and is one volume; when one
man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated
into a better language. ...
The first chapter in the life of Lillian Banks Jones begins at
the place of her birth in Lincoln County, Georgia, where she
gladdened the hearts of her parents, the late Lewis Banks and
Belauh Murray Banks.
Lillian Banks Jones always had a nice word to say about
everyone; always elected to remain silent rather than criticize.
She was a member of Prices Grove Baptist Church. She also
attended the First Baptist Church until her health failed. She
also attended the Senior Citizens Center.
She was united in holy wedlock to Henry Jones. To this union
they were blessed with a son.
She was a devoted wife and mother, one who always put the
interest of her family first. She had a happy life nurturing her
nieces and nephews with loving care, spiritual guidance, and
material comfort. Death nor time can destroy "Precious
Memories."
On Thursday morning, April 29, 1993, the Death Angel
beckoned, calling Lillian B. Jones to her reward. She concluded
the last chapter in her book of life, and it is placed on the shelf of
eternity.
Those who will miss her most: her husband, Mr. Henry Jones
of Lincolnton, Ga.; her son, Mr. David Jones, Augusta, Ga.; a
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Rosalind Jones, Augusta, Ga.; a
grandson; three sisters, Mrs. Christine B. Glaze of Lincolnton,
Ga., Mrs. Doris P.. Milton and Mrs. Margaree Sheppard of
Brooklyn, N.Y.; two brothers, Mr. Johnny Banks, Lincolnton,
Ga., Mr. Murray Banks, Detroit, Mich.; three brothers-in-law,
four sisters-in-law, and a host of nieces and nephews, cousins,
and friends to mourn her passing.

-- Poem --
God saw the road was getting rough; The hills were hard to climb; He gently closed those loving eyes And whispered, "Peace be thine."
The weary hours, the days ofpain; The sleepless nights are passed, The ever-patient worn-out frame Has found sweet rest at last.
