Emma Jo Jones, age 97, of Malvern passed away on Friday, August 27, 2021. She was born on October 8, 1923, in Eagle Mills, AR the daughter of the late Robert Ivan and Willie Leese Blair James.
Emma Jo loved God, her family, and her friends. She was a member of the Tabernacle of Praises Church. She was active in church, teaching many children God's love in Sunday School, working with the prison ministry, and donating time and financial help to many in need. When it became too painful for her to sit on the pews, her church family purchased her a lift chair so she could attend services. She was a devoted mother, raising a deaf son when there was not all the help and advantages offered today. Emma Jo was caring, funny and she took a wealth of knowledge with her. She will be missed by many.
