Mrs. Opal Sutton Jones
GREENSBORO — Mrs. Opal Sutton Jones went home to be with the Lord early Saturday morning, July 22, 2006, with her loving family by her side.
Visitation with the family will be Monday, July 24 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Apple’s Chapel Christian Church, Hwy 61, Gibsonville. A Celebration of Life Service will follow at 12:30 p.m.
A graveside service will be held Tuesday, July 25, 2006, at 11 a.m. at Southeastern Memorial Gardens in North Myrtle Beach, S.C. (Windy Hill Section) with Minister Dean Smith officiating at both locations.
Opal was born May 26, 1923 in Monticello, N.C. She was the daughter of Onnie B. Sutton and Maryida Payne Sutton , both deceased.
She was also in death by her husband, Ira Clarence Jones Jr., founder of Jones Metal Works, Inc. of Greensboro and four brothers, Gilmer Sutton , Garland Sutton , Onnie B. Sutton Jr. and the Rev. Thomas D. Sutton .
Surviving is her loving daughter Vicki Jones-Cook of Kernersville; granddaughter Stephanie Freeman Smith and husband Dean; great-grandchildren, Caleb F. Smith and Rebakah D. Smith of Pleasant Garden; brother, Lenneous Sutton of Burlington; sisters, Lilly Brown of McLeansville, Marie Gerringer of Gibsonville, Doris Wilhoit of Frankfort, Ky., Alene Warren of Burlington, and Mary Lou Long of Clearwater, Fla.; sisters-in-law, Mrs. Violet Sutton and Mrs. Thomas Sutton ; and many wonderful nieces and nephews.
Opal and Clarence were married October 25, 1941. Opal enjoyed sports in her younger adulthood by participating in softball and bowling. In 1963 Clarence and Opal cofounded Jones Metal Works, Inc. of Greensboro. They worked hand in hand to establish a legacy. She and her husband both loved the beach of South Carolina and bought a small trailer to vacation at Windy Hill in the late 1950s. She enjoyed fishing, crabbing, shelling, flowers, decorating and yard work. She won "The Yard of the Month" many times in Windy Hill. As years went on, Opal and Clarence bought a house in Windy Hill. There are many wonderful memories in the garage of that home of fishfrys and oyster roasts with many friends, neighbors and family present.
"Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: ‘There, she is gone!’ there are other eyes ready to take up the glad shout, ‘Here she comes!’" — Henry van Dyke
She is walking on the Golden Shores again — See you on the other side — Your loving family.
The family would like to extend their gratitude to Dr. J.D. Katz, Dr. Gates, and the wonderful people at Clapp’s Nursing Home who cared for and comforted Mrs. Jones and the family. Thank you.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hospice and Palliative Care, 2500 Summit Ave., Greensboro, N.C. or to the American Heart Association, 202 Centre Port Drive, Suite 100, Greensboro, N.C. 27409
