Jody was born December 29, 1947, in Amarillo to E. Ralph Jr. and Juanita Foster. She graduated from Palo Duro High School with the class of 1966.
Jody and Bobby Jack Jones Jr. were married on February 10, 1966. They spent the next 52 years together happily creating memories with their family and establishing and running their real estate business.
She was a joint owner, with her mother-in-law Dorothy Jones, of the Fairlane Beauty Shop from 1971 through 1982. She then moved to Brenda and Crew Beauty Shop until 1994. She often claimed that her passion for styling hair was never work, but was her joy to know, service and love her many clients.
In 2006 she became involved in the faith based Mothers Against Methamphetamine (Mamas), and assisted in the creation of the Panhandle Chapter of Mamas. For the next 10 years, Jody worked tirelessly in helping families affected by meth addiction, as well as educating youth in the Texas Panhandle in the prevention of drug and alcohol abuse.
Jody loved to host family and friends in her home for parties and holidays. She was a gracious host and all felt welcome in her and Bobby’s home. Anyone who met Jody would be captivated by her smile, sweet demeanor and humor. She loved family and friends unconditionally, always sharing her faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Affectionately referred to as Motts, she greatly enjoyed participating in her grandchildren’s lives and activities.
Family was her major priority; she is survived by her husband, Bobby Jack Jones Jr., two sons, Bobby (Moose) Jones III of Amarillo, and Shane Jones and wife Connie of Allen, Texas. Six grandchildren, Madelyn Jones, Macy Jones, Haylie Jones-Adams, Keaton Adams, Blake Jacoby and Cole Jacoby; her brother E. Ralph (Buster) Foster III and wife Paula and sister Lindy Moneymaker and husband Frank. Also, several nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews.
