Mrs. Jones spent her career in music and education. After college, she taught school in Calhoun then returned to LaGrange College to be a professor of music for four years. She then taught music and second grade in several school systems in northwest Georgia, taking off several years to be a fulltime mother and homemaker which she cherished.
Music was her passion, and she was blessed with perfect pitch and the ability to play music by ear. Mrs. Jones taught private piano lessons for many years, hosting recitals in her living room at home. She was a church organist at Westminster Presbyterian Church in the 1960's and at Lindale United Methodist Church in the 1970's. During this time, she played the organ for many weddings as well.
