Ernestine (Teen) Marie Jones-Stoutenburg was born November 7, 1921, in Thayer, Missouri, the first of three children to Fred H. and Archie Valera Arnold-Jones. Her father was an Insulating Engineer in the oil refinery industry and his employment required the family to live in various parts of the country: Sapulpa, OK; Wichital Falls, TX; Florence, CO; and Glenrock, WY.

From The Wayne County News - 2/2/2011

Neda Badour, a native of Steubenville, Ohio, came to the Assisted Living some three years ago. As usual, we accepted her into our family. She was loved and respected by all of us here. At the time, she was in the first stages of Alzheimer's. As she grew older, her condition deteriorated and at times would go back to her childhood when she was young and would go out for the evening to dance, not having a care in the world.

She was a high maintenance woman. She loved her fingernails polished, jewelry on, and her hair fixed. But then, it happened one day, when Neda fell and was taken to the nursing home where she died.

One day when we were having singing and music, Joe Donegan, who likes to dance, invited Neda to dance with him. Even though she walked with a a rolader, she accepted Joe's hand and they danced a whole song. She was so happy. And as she thanked Joe, she immediately turned into a beautiful, blushing, young lady. This was Neda's memorial. We might say "SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME SWEETHEART."
