Eleanor Jones

Eleanor Munt Jones passed away on Sunday, December 18, 2022. She was raised in Prince George, Virginia. She graduated from Prince George High School and earned a B.A. degree from Longwood University. She was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas A. and Katherine-Burrow Munt.
She is survived by her husband of 48 years, Ligon L. "Lucky" Jones; son, Ligon L. Jones II; daughter-in-law, Patricia A. Jones; grandchildren, Taylor Morgan Jones, Ligon L. Jones III, and Kierstin Nicole Jones; and sisters, Elizabeth M. Abernathy (Larry) and Caroline M. Thacker (Jimmy).
Eleanor was a proud member of the Virginia Arabian Horse Association, as well as a past President and previous 4-H leader. She enjoyed sewing, horse showing and training, fishing, and skeet and sporting clay shooting. Nothing gave her more pleasure than beating her husband in a round of skeet or sporting clays.
Eleanor was a teacher for 12 years for Prince George County and was later self-employed as owner of Edgewood Arabians and Show Wear Limited.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to American Stroke Association. Condolences may be registered at www.jtmorriss.com .
