On December 26, 2018, Kay Woods Jones ended her journey on this earth at her home in Lake Jackson, Texas. She is at peace with the Lord and now is free of pain and suffering. Kay was born in San Antonio, Texas on July 24, 1936, the daughter of Charles D. Woods and Evelyn Conrad Woods.
She graduated from Incarnate Word University in 1958 with a BS degree in Medical Technology. She married Ronald A. Jones on September 6, 1958, and they enjoyed 60 years of marriage. She traveled all over the world with her husband, visiting over 63 countries and setting foot on every continent except Antarctica. One of her favorite trips was visiting all of the Christian sites in the Holy Land. Kay played the organ and keyboard at St. Michael Catholic Church in Lake Jackson for 45 years until her illness forced her to retire.
She was preceded in death by her mother, father and infant daughter, Wendy.
Surviving family members are her husband, Ronald A. Jones; her daughters Leslie Stein, Kellie Chaney (Jim), and Kaycie Moore (Randy) all of Lake Jackson; sister Joan Turner (Robert) of San Antonio; grandchildren, Sam Chaney (Melissa) of Lake Jackson, Stuart Stein of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Preston Stein (Peyton) of Bryan, Texas, and Nick Moore (Brett) of Austin, Texas; and six great-grandchildren.

On Thursday, January 3, 2019, Monsignor Leo Wleczyk will officiate at a funeral Mass at 11:00 a.m. at St. Michael Catholic Church. Committal for family only will follow the funeral Mass.
