Gwen Hanratty (Jones) - Class Of 1969

Gwen Hanratty (Jones)

Gwen E (Hanratty) Jones, 67, of Olney, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, June 28, 2018 at Carle Richland Memorial Hospital.  She was born on January 27, 1951 in Richland Co, IL, the daughter of Jack and Ethel (Weisenberger) Hanratty.  She married David Jones on January 1, 1981 in Olney, IL.  He survives.

Gwen was an LPN in the ICU for 20 years at RMH in Olney. She retired 6 years ago and enjoyed caring for her family during that time. Gwen referred to everyone as 'hon' and was a caring person that always had a hug and a warm smile for you. She had a bubbly personality and always tried to make people happy. Gwen took pleasure in making jokes and being silly, not trying to take life too seriously. Her pride and joy was her husband, two daughters, mother, and nephew, Matthew. Gwen's smile will be deeply missed by everyone.

Gwen is survived by her husband, David Jones of Olney; daughters, Katie Jones and Kellie Jones, both of Olney; mother, Ethel Hanratty of Olney; step-son, Dusty Jones of Olney; nephew, Matthew Travous of Mt. Carmel; brothers, Clayton (Betty) Wilson of Claremont and Jerry (Margaret) Hanratty of Detroit, AL.

She was preceded in death by her father, sister, Cassandra (Hanratty) Travous, and granddaughter, Anna Marie Jones-Hinderliter.

Cremation rites were accorded.  A memorial service will be held at a later date. Memorials may be made to the family.
