Gloria Ann Harris  Jones, age 73, of Paducah, passed away at her residence on Sunday, April 4, 2021, at 5:21 p.m.

Gloria was of the Baptist Faith, and was graduate of the former Lincoln High School. She was employed as a school bus driver of the Paducah City Public Schools retiring after dedicated service in 2005.

Gloria's favorite pastimes were playing bingo, cards, and computer games.  She loved her family and siblings and cooking while at the same time, making people laugh, keeping them in stitches with her wild sense of humor and giving a few choice words of her own.

She is survived by her husband of 56 years, Lucious G. (L.G.) Jones of Paducah; Three daughters, Denise Jones of Louisville, LaTonya Pleasants of Clarksville, TN and Tracy Jones of Paducah; one son, Keith (Ashley Lusk) Jones, Sr., of Paducah; 13 grandchildren; several great-grandchildren; one sister, Lynda Flemons of Joliet, IL; two brothers, Donald (Bonita) Harris of Joliet, Il and Ronald Harris of Milwaukee, WI; several nieces, nephews, cousins, friends including her very special friend and best friend Lucille Shannon.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Toy Harris and Mary Lee Shepard Harris; one son, Timothy Dwayne Jones; two sisters, Patricia Petty and Imogene Collins, two brothers, Larry Harris and Michael Harris.

A private graveside service has been planned.

There will be no visitation.
