Harold C. Jones
(May 8, 1927 - May 9, 2010)
One thing I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple. Psalm 27:4 On Sunday, May 9, 2010, our beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend Mr. Harold Curtis Jones peacefully left his early home and completed the ultimate goal in a Believers’ life, where all who confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior desire to achieve. Harold Curtis Jones was born May 8, 1927, to the late Mary Jones (Parks) and Willie C. Jones. He was born in Mecklenburg County, VA. He worked 29 years for the U. S. Postal Service before he retired in 1993. He was joined in holy matrimony with Mattie Leona Whitehead on July 21, 1956. Together they shared 51 years of marriage. He was a faithful member of Good Shepherd Baptist Church until his health began to fail. He was the President of his Neighborhood Watch and the Petersburg Association of Neighborhoods (PAN). He was preceded in death by his wife, Mattie L. Whitehead Jones. He is survived by his devoted sons, Denton A. Epps (Iona), Harold Rodney Jones (Rosalind) and Steve M. Jones (Cynthia); five grandchildren, Denise Epps, H. Quincy, Ebony, Danyiel and Maya Jones; six great grandchildren; one brother, Calvin C. Jones (Maxine); one nephew, Warren Jones (Gina); one niece, Carolyn Jones-Bey (Mikael), one sister-in-law, Eva Spratley; a host of cousins, other relatives and friends.
