Barbara K. Jones

Barbara Jones, 81, of Orange, Connecticut, beloved wife of Jeffrey Jones for 57 years, passed away on October 18, 2023. Born on September 19, 1942 in Stamford, Connecticut, she was the daughter of the late Zane and Helen (Serafin) Kaminsky.

Barbara and Jeff spent the first three years of their married life in Japan, where Jeff was stationed with the U.S. Navy. During that time, she learned Japanese and Ikebana flower arranging. She also made lifelong friends. Barbara was a devoted mother, staying home and raising her two children and then helping to care for her grandchildren as well. She cherished quiet days planning and planting her gardens, time spent in her kitchen, sewing, and quilting. Barbara and Jeff enjoyed traveling together around the country and internationally. She had a passion for all kinds of arts and crafts, teaching her family with a creative eye and patient disposition. Barbara was a woman who loved all kinds of animals and had a special place in her heart for cats, birds, and other wildlife.

Barbara will be remembered in the hearts of all who had the honor of loving her and she will live on in their memories.

In addition to her beloved husband, Jeffrey, she is survived by their two children, Liza Sivek (Scott) and Peter Jones (Kerry Duffy). Four grandchildren: Aria Casey, Analiese Casey, Rebecca Jones, and Lila Jones. As well as her beloved aunt, Elizabeth Faski, brother Zane Kaminsky (Beverly), and many additional beloved family and friends. She also leaves behind her beloved cat, Tigger. We are sure her many beloved pets who predeceased her were waiting for her on the Rainbow Bridge, happy to welcome their favorite person to Heaven.

A Memorial Gathering is to be held on Saturday November 11, 2023 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. with a Prayer Service to begin 3:30 p.m.

The family is being compassionately cared for by the staff at Cody-White Funeral Home 107 Broad Street, Milford, CT 06460.
