Shela Bailey Jones

Shela Bailey "She" Jones, age 62, of Henderson, Nevada passed away on Friday, February 25, 2022. She was born March 5, 1959 in Mt. Pleasant, Utah. Shela is survived by her beloved husband of 43 years, Michael Jones; daughters: Heather Jones, Amber Bame, Sage Black, and Jade Jones; parents: Lawrence and Geraldene “Larry and Johnni” Bailey; and two siblings, Mitchell Bailey and Lora Oldenburg.

Shela was an extraordinarily nurturing and loving mother, sister, aunt, and grandmother to six beautiful grandkids. She was also a cherished leader and friend to many. Her talents were endless, she was an extremely accomplished musician who taught voice and piano lessons for many years.

Shela lived a life of dedicated service in the LDS church, under many leadership roles and responsibilities, and enjoyed playing with her grandkids, cooking amazing meals, cleaning (yes, cleaning), and orchestrating family and church gatherings. She also loved riding bikes with her “girls”, in addition to her favorite pastime of horseback riding with family and close friends, while welcoming any stranger who wanted to join. Her life was one of selflessness, inclusion, service, and purity of heart, shown in her outgoing character and ever-optimistic nature.

Shela always entertained family and friends with such grace and ease; humbly expected nothing in return. She was a true example of a life lived close to Christ, and she effortlessly touched the lives of those who crossed her path. Shela will be forever remembered and missed by all who were blessed enough to know her.

A celebration of Life for Shela will be held Saturday, March 5, 2022 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Days Saints, 1002 Burkholder Blvd, Henderson, NV 89015.
