Karen Sue (Rice) Jones
October 12, 1942-October 20, 2022
Karen Sue (Rice) Jones, 80 of Celina, Tenn., and formerly of Sheridan, joined her late husband Gene on Thursday, Oct. 20, 2022.
She was born on Oct. 12, 1942 to the late Bill and Viola (Showalter) Rice in Noblesville, Indiana.
Mrs. Jones enjoyed talking and meeting new people; she worked as a cashier at Walmart. When her husband retired, they decided to move on the river in Celina, Tenn., where the two of them would look forward to fishing together.
She was quite the bowler; her daughter Gayla and her bowled in leagues. Mrs. Jones looked forward to their bowling nights. She loved playing softball and she continued to play in adult leagues for many years and there wasn’t a position she hadn’t played.
She enjoyed the outdoors and she and Gene would look forward to camping with their family and friends. She also loved to cook, and her family would look forward to the meals she would prepare. When Mrs. Jones was home, she could be found watching westerns and game shows.
The most important thing to Mrs. Jones was her family especially her grandchildren whom she loved very much and would look forward to seeing them.
Survivors include her two children Gayla (Terry) Hart and Bryan (Erin) Jones; eight grandchildren Joshua, Taylor, Jacob, Craig (Cortney), Brooke, Laura, Danielle and Dawn; 18 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild; and brother David Jones.
