Edgar S. Jones

Edgar S. Jones, age 99, passed away on November 13, 2026, at Commonwealth Senior Living.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Richard French Jones and Lucy Snead Jones; his brothers, Clyde W. Jones and Howard C. Jones; and his loving wife of 69 years, Irene Boardwine Jones. Irene was his high school sweetheart.

He is survived by his daughters, Sharon Davis and husband Lester, and Barbara Fuller and husband Kemper Fuller, Jr.; sons, Edgar A. Jones and wife Dorothy Gilmer Jones, and Randy Jones and wife Kecia Wampler Jones; seven grandchildren: Leslie Renee Davis Conger, Travis Fuller, Jonathan Davis, Jill Fuller Williams, Joshua F. Jones, Benjamin H. Jones, and Aaron S. Jones; nine great-grandchildren: Elaina, Aubrie and Evan Conger, Riley Shay Jones, Andrew Davis, Harper Alise Williams, Amelia Fuller, Aaron Kipp Fuller, and Bennett Jones.

Edgar loved his family and his church family. He was a member of Bethel Baptist Church and served his church as deacon, trustee, Sunday school teacher, choir member, Building and Grounds Committee, Budget and Finance Committee, and Treasurer for 26 years. He served on numerous pulpit search committees and on three mission trips. Edgar retired from the Division of Motor Vehicles after 32 years of service.

He was an avid coon hunter and always had at least two hunting dogs, Walker hounds and blue ticks. He trained dogs to compete in regional and state shows and received many awards. In his younger years, he enjoyed the building trades, helping his dad build homes in Jones Addition. He also built the home he resided in until his death. He was always helping his children with home projects. He and Irene loved traveling across the country in their RV, but he loved home and returning to his beloved coon hounds.

The family would like to thank MSA Hospice and nurse Jill Baker.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Bethel Baptist Church, P.O. Box 425, Lebanon, Va. 24266.
