Five long years without our dear Barbara.
Oh how we miss her.
Loving Sister,BrendaJ. King
and devoted brother-in-law,Paul E. RockelliKINGinvited to Gulfstream RaceTrack, and on
atwo dollar wager,won theTwin Double,
$81,181,80, which at the time was the single
largest pay-off in flat-horseracing history.
In order to win, Mrs.Jones had to pick
four winning horses in each of fourraces,
all hunches and all 20 to1long shots!
Countless articles and interviews followed,
along with an appearance on the nationally
televised program, "ToTell theTr uth." Mrs.
Jones wasafounding member of the influ-
ential Pittsburghers ofWashington, an asso-
ciation dedicated to providing scholarship
funds for students from the Pittsburgh area
attending colleges inWashington, DC.Mrs.
Jones suggested for the first scholarship
recipient, Billy Martin. Attorney Martin has
publicly credited and thanked Mrs.Jones for
playingasignificant role in his collegiate
beginnings and in his professional achieve-
ments in the national and international
arena. Mrs.Jones contributed greatly to her
beloved Asbury Methodist Church, and when
her office was located in the Shoreham
Building, she attended St John's Church (long
known as the Church of the Presidents) for
its weekday noon services.Mrs.Jones,also
affectionately known as "The General" by
many of her friends,had an indefatigable
spirit. She has often been described as
a"great lady,"a"delightful lady," and an
"amazing person." Her friends describe her
asagiving, inspirational and courageous
woman. She has meant so much to so many,
and is loved and missed by family and friends,
near and far.The community is grateful for
the wisdom, service,and experience that
she gained through the years that she then
imparted to others.Her legacy can be found
in the many people and families that were
able to own their own homes asaresult of
her efforts.Many lives have been touched
and changed because of the friendship and
love of Mrs.Jones.She is remembered with
great love by those who were captivated
not only by her intelligence,sharp wit, and
humor,but also by the sentimental softness
resting in her eyes.Asone of her young
admirers once said, "Mrs.Jones,seeing your
smile isaDay Maker!"
Today we remember and celebrate Mrs.
Jones andalife well-lived. She was so
wonderful to her parents,purchasingahome
here in DC to have them closer to her
so as to care for them. Mrs.Jones even
arrangedapersonal White House invitation
for her parents to visit the White House on
the occasion of her parents' 65th wedding
anniversary.President and Mrs,Nixon host-
edaSunday church service at the White
house and Mrs.Jones and her daughter
accompanied her parents,where they met
the Nixons and theFords atareception after
the church service.
Mrs.Jones wasabeautiful woman of dignity,
born with class,who saw the beauty and
humanity in others.She had personal acclaim
and professional success,but her real joy
was her daughter,Cliftine.
Mom,although six years have passed since
you "sailed to Heaven's shores," time and
physical separation will never diminish my
love for you.Iamthankful that the Almighty
permitted me to be with you as you took your
last breath-that Sunday,exactly six years ago
today.
Imiss you, Mom- you are in my heart, always.
The sacrifices that you made for me are
innumerable; suchawonderful Mother God
gave me,andIjust want the world to know
about you.
Youare now in that great beyond -your
soul resting in peace with the Almighty.I
miss your smile,your warmth, your positive
energy,and your love.Ilove you dear Mother,
andIawait our meeting again in that place
where there are no tears,nosunsets,and
no dawnings- eternity.
Your Loving Daughter,
Cliftine
This is the Day that the Lord has Made; Let
us Rejoice and be Glad in it." Psalm 118:24

MARION WHITLOCK JONES
March 29, 1918-October 20, 2013
Mrs.Jones was born in Sewickley,Penn-
sylvania,asuburb of Pittsburgh, one of
eight children of parents Grace andFrank
Whitlock. Mrs.Jones was born on Good
Friday,and once,displaying her sense of
humor,told her male classmates at her
college alma mater,"Iwas born on Good
Friday,Iam innately good, so don't try to lead
me astray!" Mrs.Jones excelled in her early
studies,and in athletics also,once beating
the girls inafootrace only to go on to beat
the red-headed boy who had won the boys'
race.When recalling that win years later,she
exclaimed, "Must be the American Indian
in me !" Mrs.Jones matriculated to Virginia
State College,where she was an honor
student, and one of the most popular coeds
at the Petersburg institution. Her chosen
curricula included courses in the fields of
social work,French, the art of fencing, and
even tap dancing lessons.Mrs.Jones was
crowned "Miss Virginia State" the same year
that the Virginia State College football team
upset the Morgan State College team by
winning the CIAA championship title.Mrs.
Jones pledged into the Alpha Kappa Alpha
Sorority on November 1, 1938, the Alpha
Epsilon Chapter.She also attended the Uni-
versity of Pittsburgh.After college Marion
moved toWashington, DC where she met
and married her handsome and popular
soul mate,CliftonW.Jones,who tragically
passed away on Thanksgiving Eve,amere six
months after their wedding day.Marion was
four months pregnant with her daughter
at the time of his demise and she never
remarried. Mrs.Jones wasasuccessful real
estate broker,apioneer asawoman and
minority,helping to break the proverbial
"glass ceiling" in this profession.Her offices
were located in the coveted Shoreham Build-
ing, located on 15th andHStreets NW,
then known as the "LittleWall Street." She
handled exclusive properties and represent-
ed VIPs in the marketplace.Her style and
grace were accentuated by her reputation
as the "Bronze Coco Chanel." Her business
attire always included the donning of an
exquisite tailored suit with matching hat and
gloves- never,ever pants- all reflecting her
individual style,personality,and panache.
Oscar de la Renta dressed Jacqueline
Kennedy and Marion Jones! How interesting
that Oscar passed away exactly one year
to the day after Marion's departure.They
must be sharing designer ideas up there
in the Heavenly realm!The fabulous hats
worn by Mrs.Jones were mostly designed
by the award winning hat designer,Frank
Olive,whom she met. He gave herahat
pin asaspecial gift.PaulineTr igere,the
French designer,dressed Bette Davis,Wallis
Simpson, Marion's friend Lena Horne,and
Marion Jones! Marion's special friends,the
Johnstons and Robert Mallett agreed that
"No one wears red like Marion Jones!"
Asayoung woman, Mrs.Jones studied
millinery,and she wanted to travel toParis
to study fashion design, even then, striving
for greatness without even realizing it.
Mrs.Jones had her fifteen minutes of fame
when, in 1964, onavacation with her parents
and daughter in Miami Beach, she wasJONESDEATH NOTICEBETTINA ADAMS (Age 63)
