Barbara Jones

Barbara Ann Jones, age 28, of Ovid , MI , passed away Wednesday, October 13, 2021 , at Sparrow Health Systems, Lansing , MI .

She was born on September 15, 1993 in Carson City , MI .  She attended the First Baptist Academy and then graduated from Carson City - Crystal schools in 2012.

Barbara's passion in life was being attentive to those who needed her help; whether it was young children or her residents at Ingham County Medical Care Facility.  She always had the highest level of love and compassion.  Very few people who encountered Barb saw anything other than a happy, loving, selfless young woman.  All who had the privilege to know her were certainly better for having that chance.

If she was not caring for a baby she was engaged in one of her many other passions.  Her love of crocheting, she was never more than five feet away from a skein of yarn.  Also she loved to kayak, fish, and spend time with her friends and family.

Her parents want all to know that although Barb is not with us here, we certainly will all see her again soon in heaven.  We take comfort in that knowledge.

Funeral Services will be held at Heartland Church , 8440 M-21, Ovid , MI 48866 , at 3:00 P.M. on Sunday, October 17, 2021 , with Pastor Ben McBride officiating.  Visitation will be held on Friday, October 15, 2021 from 4:00-8:00 P.M. and also on Saturday, October 16, 2021 from 1:00-6:00 P.M. at Smith Family Funeral Homes - Houghton Chapel, Ovid , MI .
