Jones, Edward M.

Ed Jones, 64, died Tuesday, April 4, 2007, at his residence in Longview. 
Originally from Wales, Ed spent many years traveling the world as plant 
manager for Continental Can. He came to the U.S. in 1993, where he 
married and made the U.S. his second home. He lived for many years in 
Shreveport, La., and several years in Hot Springs, Ark., before moving 
to Longview, but maintained his links with Wales and was very proud of 
his Celtic heritage.

Those left to cherish his memory are his wife, Janet Fleming Jones; and 
"the light of his life," grandson, Gabe Fleming of Longview, whom he 
raised for the past three years. He also leaves behind his cherished 
daughters, Nerys Pagan-Jones and Karen Rutter; four grandchildren; a 
sister, Nerys Egerton; and brother, David Jones of England; two 
stepdaughters, Jeanna Nix of Haughton and Melissa Fleming of Keithville; 
and four grandchildren in the U.S.

Visitation will be 6-7 p.m. Tuesday, April 9, 2007, at Rader Funeral 
Home with a memorial service to follow.

The family would like to express their deepest appreciation to his nurse 
Robin and staff at Heart'sWay Hospice.

Memorial contributions may be made to Heart'sWay in lieu of flowers.
