Ms. Jennifer Lee-Ann Jones' Obituary
Jennifer Lee-Ann Jones Angel left to soon! August 24, 1978 until March 6, 2010 Jennifer was a child of God, from her earliest years growing up in Sunday school at League City UMC; Jennifer was always a caring and compassionate person who felt deeply for the needs of others. By the time Jennifer was in late grade school schizophrenia had already begun to attack her mind, began a lifelong fight with it. As a youth Jennifer loved to swim and found that in the water the world was left behind As a young adult professional she was a Medical Laboratory Technologist who spent six plus years doing lab work trying to solve the medical mysteries of the human body. During the time this Alvin Community College graduates, moved to college station where she attended Texas A & M University and from that time forward considered herself to be an Aggie. Jennifer then moved back home where she helped her family in as many ways as she could.. During this time she joined the Prayer Warriors of Shepherd of the Heart United Methodist, and while they understood Jennifer's illness, they prayed with, and loved her as a member of the family. Finally for the first time in her life she felt accepted with God's grace by other adults and we watched her blossom in faith, in Bible reading, and in the word of God as it applied to her. Jennifer loved music, she kept her headsets on hours a day as a way of keeping the voices of schizophrenia in the background, and she loved to sing in church. Her happiest times were when she was doing anything related to Walt Disney. This past fall on a Disney Cruise her face would light up and she would be thrilled to meet one Disney character after another, always seeking to be with the happiest characters on earth. Her childlike reaction to them of love and support was a picture of Jennifer's soul. Always looking for the happy side, she one told me in high school where she was a mentor, "two shoulders dad, no waiting" for those who needed a hug a support. She left us much too soon, her schizo effective disorder with bi-polar was a daily struggle. Her huge weight gain made it difficult for her to go out in public, and yet she wanted to go to the Rodeo, as she remembered going as a child and having a great time and she was going to watch her Dad eat his way thru the midway. It was a beautiful day, she ate some favorite rodeo foods, and we sat for 45 minutes enjoying each other's company, and then went towards the stadium. She stepped inside of this happy place only to pass away upon entering, but she was in a happy spot, with her beloved music, and fun foods, and happy crowds. Jennifer left us with huge holes in our hearts, and a duty to love others, the last, the least, the lost, for that is what she did, and would want us to continue. Her Dad, Ken
