(From Clark Funeral Home)Chanda Jones, age 69, passed away peacefully at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Missouri, on November 26, 2024. She was born on November 15, 1955, in Dallas, Texas, to Kenneth Gardner and Helen Maddox Gardner.
Chanda graduated from Mesquite High School in Mesquite, Texas, and went on to proudly serve her country as a Military Police officer in the United States Marine Corps. She later found fulfillment in her professional life through various roles, including employment at Lozier Corporation in Joplin, Missouri, and La-Z-Boy. Chanda also worked as a nurse aide in a nursing home, where her compassion touched many lives.
In December of 1988, she met the love of her life, Johnny Jones and they would spend the next 36 years as partners. They shared a beautiful partnership, and he survives her. Chanda was a devoted wife, mother, and friend who found great joy in gardening, cooking, crafting and shopping, and her presence brought warmth and kindness to everyone around her.
She is lovingly remembered by her children: her daughter Donna (Bobby) Mitchell of Granby, Missouri, and her son Kenneth and his companion, Mara Salinas, of Torres, Paraguay, and her grandchildren, Corrigan, Remi, Haze, Sunny and Max. Chanda will also be deeply missed by extended family members, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
A family memorial will be held at a later date.
