Olive I. Jones, 92, passed away peacefully February 11, 2017, at the Masonic Pathways in Alma, Michigan, where she recently lived. Before needing nursing care, Olive lived all her adult life with her brother and sister-in-law, Raymond and Ivy Jones, on Melrose Road, Baptist Corners, Auburn, NY. Olive was an intelligent, quick-witted, hard-working, musical lady who loved spending time with family. She is survived by her niece (Phyllis Hart) and nephew (William Jones) and their children and grandchildren. Olive graduated from Skaneateles High School in 1943. She was a dedicated supervisor for 39 years at New York Telephone Company where she received many perfect attendance awards. One of Olive's greatest joys was praising the Lord Jesus through music. She studied voice for many years. Olive was a soloist at First Baptist Church (Auburn) and United Church of Auburn. She and her older brother Ray, a baritone soloist, often provided concerts for church congregations throughout New York and Pennsylvania. They felt called to sacrifice for this important ministry, providing beautiful songs of worship and praise. Interment was at Lakeview Cemetery, Skaneateles, NY. Memorial gifts may be sent to United Church of Auburn, 77 Metcalf Ave., Auburn, NY 13021 or Montrose Bible Conference, 218 Locust Street, Montrose, PA 18801.
