Millard Bud E. Jones MD

Dr Jones, a highly respected neurologist, was born in Portland, Oregon on March 24, 1922. He completed his undergraduate education at the University of Washington, followed by his medical school training at University of Oregon School of Medicine, and his general internship at the University of Wisconsin. Choosing to specialize in Neurology, Dr Jones completed his residency at the University of Oregon and at San Francisco Veterans Hospital. In addition, Dr Jones completed one year of additional training in Internal Medicine at Portland’s Good Samaritan Hospital.

During World War II, Dr Jones enlisted in the US Army Air Corps and was stationed in Bangor, Maine, where he served as medical officer and honorary consultant.

In 1952, Dr Jones and his family moved to Spokane, where he joined Dr Howard Lander and Dr Joseph Lynch in establishing a neurology practice. Over the years, as Spokane’s medical community evolved, Dr Jones was affiliated with Neurology and Neurosurgery Associates as well as Neurology Associates of Spokane. Dr Jones retired in January 2000.

Dr Jones was preceded in death by his dear wife Nancy; son, Gregory; and brother, William E. Jones, MD. He is survived by his two nieces, Betsy Brown and Siri Tobey of Snohomish, WA; and his dear friend and “honorary daughter” Cynthia (Cindy) McCall.

Bud and Nancy shared a love of music and travel. They enjoyed memories of attending the New Year's Eve performance of the Salzburg Johann Strauss Orchestra in Austria. On cruises they explored South America, China, Australia, Scandinavia, Spain and Greece. They loved travelling by motor car around Europe, a highlight being Scotland where they golfed at St. Andrews course. In Sun Valley, Idaho they hiked the Sawtooths, and enjoyed golfing and cross-country skiing.

Dr. Jones was a member of Manito Presbyterian Church.

A memorial service will be held in the Rockwood South Main Lounge, 2903 E. 25th Ave. on Friday, April 8, 2011 at 1:30 pm.

The family would like to extend a very special thanks to Cindy McCall for her faithful commitment to Bud and Nancy, to the many close friends who were part of their lives, and to the staff at Rockwood Atrium. Donations can be made in Dr Jones’ memory to the charity of your choice.
