Marilyn Jones
Native and nearly a life long resident of Wells Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania died in the morning of October 23, 2013 age 86 years, 8 months, and 28 days. Devoted daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother and a gracious and caring friend to many, Marilyn Laurene Noble was born January 25, 1927 at home on the Coryland Road in central Wells Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania on the farm where her parents resided, the fifth child of seven children and the first daughter born to Glenn Corey Noble and Berdena Mae Kilgore. The snow was so deep and over the top of many fences that roads were impassable with automobiles and it was a few days before Doctor Kingsley arrived on a horse drawn sleigh from Gillett to check on mother and daughter. Marilyn was the fifth generation of the Noble family on the farm where her great great grandparents Alonzo Crosby Noble and Aurelia Landers settled in 1833. The house in which she was born on the Noble farm was demolished in 2010. Her family moved to the adjacent house on the property that had been built about 1845 when she was a small child after the death of her grandfather Alonzo Pellet Noble and where she was raised. Her parents held her back for a year before she started school so that she and her brother Calvin, who was 13 months younger, could walk to school together. However, Victor and Beatrice Warner came along and drove Marilyn and Calvin to school in their automobile along with their own children. Marilyn attended Wells graded school, a two-story wooden building, situated at the corner of Coryland Road and Roaring Run Road. Recess sometimes involved a trip for candy to the store of Dan Strong, situated a short distance away on present Garrison Road or in winter sleighing down the hill behind the school. Her teacher, Verle Eighmey, allowed her to take a test in seventh grade that she passed to skip the eighth grade and begin her freshmen year at Troy High School. In the summer of 1940, she traveled to Detroit, with her beloved aunt Mae McClure Noble, a teacher in Barnesboro, Pennsylvania who visited each summer and whom Marilyn thought highly of, where they visited her aunt Mildred Noble Murray. Marilyn graduated in 1944 from Troy High School, treasurer of her class. A love of learning, full of vigor and enthusiasm, pervaded her entire life. Her first job, during World War II, in the summer of 1944 after graduation, was at Andover Motors in Elmira as a stenographer. That same year, in the fall, she became a bookkeeper for American LaFrance in Elmira. She then became a bookkeeper for Hygeia Refrigeration Company in Elmira. During that time she married December 12, 1948 the love of her life, John Jones, Jr. They began matrimonial life living with his parents on their farm in the Seeley Creek Valley of Wells Township between the New York - Pennsylvania state line and Mosherville, residing with them for three years before moving to a two-family home on a neighboring farm owned by his brother Roy Jones and in which his brother Raymond Jones and wife Julia also resided. Marilyn had an early passion for art and painting and often visited Arts Torp, the studio residence of Lars Hoftrup (Julius Lars Larson) near Pine City. He came to the family farm and painted the barn. Marilyn left Hygeia Refrigeration after five years for the arrival of their first son. Beginning in 1956, Marilyn and John built with their own hands, and hard work, a one-story ranch style home on the farm of his parents. Marilyn made a wonderful home for her husband and children. She daily assisted her husband on their successful farm that consisted of a herd of about 65 Jersey cattle. Feeding animals, washing milking equipment, and helping to get hay in the barn was part of her daily life. After their second son was born, she became an employee of the Avon Company in 1960, which allowed her to work her own hours, be close to her family, and continue to assist her husband daily on the farm. That choice made her family the beneficiaries of all that is good of having "Mom" there when called upon. Marilyn invested much time into their comfortable home, enjoyed gardening and flowers, and attended her children's activities. The antique cupboard, one of three pieces of furniture that arrived with her Noble ancestors on an ox cart in 1833 was full of her canned vegetables, fruits, and pickles. She believed in three family sit-down meals a day and that breakfast was an important part of the beginning of a healthy day. She was the essence of "Mom." John and Marilyn believed in their son's further education and to meet that need, in 1969, Marilyn and John, built and operated a car wash, situated on the family farm on Route 328. She remained with the Avon Company for nineteen years, retiring in 1979. They retired from dairy farming in 1982. Always with a devoted and bright outlook and appreciation for life, Marilyn and John lived a busy life involved with their family. After retiring they traveled some, especially to Florida to visit her brother Calvin and family and to California to visit her brother Lonnie and family. An accomplished painter in various venues, which graces the homes of many relatives and friends, she took various classes to perfect her own style and creations. She painted on wood and toll ware and eventually turned her full attention to painting on china. She was an original charter member of the former Chemung Valley China Painters, past member of the New York State Federation of China Painters, and past member of the worldwide Organization of China Painters. She maintained and operated her own kiln in her home for the many pieces of hand painted china she created. Her expertise was painting flowers and fruits and especially roses. Many people brought antique lamps to her with the globe missing for her to paint and match to the painted base. She had a strong and compassionate heart as evidenced by the love she had for her family, friends and community. Her many talents, love, and friendship will be missed by those lives she touched. On March 6, 2012 at age 85 she fractured a hip outside a store in Elmira and after surgery entered rehabilitation. She was predeceased by her husband on March 17, 2012 at age 88 years, 6 months, and 15 days and they had celebrated 63 years, 3 months, and 5 days of happily married life together; her father at age 74, her mother at age 85, brothers, Austin Ellsworth Noble at age 84, Rexford Eugene Noble at age 7 when he fell through a hay chute in the barn, LaVere Wesley Noble at age 77, Enoch Alonzo Noble at age 87, Calvin Corey Noble at age 81, and twin grandsons Joel Kurt Jones in 1974 and Jon Christopher Jones in 1991. She is survived by her son John Keavin Jones and wife Susan Marie White of Wells Township, son Jan Kelsey Jones of Pine City, grandson Kory Jayson Jones and Kristen Zepp of Wells Township, sister Rosalie Esther Noble and husband Richard Kingsley of Springfield Township, Bradford County, sister in law Beverly Jean Balmer former wife of Calvin Corey Noble and now wife of William Gordon, sister in law Julia Zahorian Jones widow of Raymond Jones, and 11 nieces and nephews on the Noble side of the family. Arrangements by Caywood's Funeral Home & Gardens, Elmira. In keeping with her wishes, there will be no calling hours and services will be private and at the convenience of the immediate family. Burial will be in Glenwood Cemetery, Troy, Pennsylvania beside her beloved husband.
