Lou Ann Montgomery Jones

Lou Ann Montgomery Jones passed into the arms of her Lord and Savior on May 1, 2023 in Kingwood, Texas. Lou Ann was born on May 28, 1937 to Knox Alex and Ollie Estelle DuBose Montgomery in Black Creek Texas. She grew up in the Black Creek community where she attended Black Creek School and the Black Creek Baptist Church. Lou Ann graduated from Devine High School in 1955 and married the love of her life, Jerry Jones, on May 29, 1955. During their marriage of almost 68 years, they were blessed with four children.

Lou Ann lived a life of service to others. She spent much of her life as a pastor's wife, alongside her husband, Jerry, which led them to many churches over the years. Later in life, she spent her life loving on her grandchildren and great grandchildren and caring for family and friends in the nursing home. Lou Ann loved playing the piano, caring for her plants, sewing, watching the deer, and listening to country gospel music and hymns. 

When Lou Ann and Jerry began to need a little more help in life, they moved to Kingwood to live with daughter and son-in-law, Betty and Todd. For the past four and a half years, Lou Ann delighted in holding and playing with and loving on the three great grandchildren, Caleb, Hannah, and Molly, who lived nearby.

Lou Ann was preceded in death by her parents, K.A. and Ollie Montgomery, brothers, K.A. (Junior) Montgomery, Willis Montgomery, Alvin Montgomery, and David Montgomery along with her sister, Dorothy Neuman and nephew, Wayne Neuman and niece Tammy Ricord.  She is survived by her husband, Jerry Jones, sister, Maudie (Grady) George, sisters-in-law, Irene Montgomery and Linda Montgomery, children, Johnny (Karen) Jones, Carol (Mike) Newberry, Kathy (Kirby) Haertner, Betty (Todd) Rogers, grand children, David ( Natasha) Jones, Jessica (David) Bonnet, Joey (Leslie) Newberry, Jennifer (Jason) Moseley, Amanda (Ryan) Meegan, Emily (Justin) Robinson, Bradley (Stephanie) Rogers, and Erin Flowers, 14 great grandchildren, and 3 great-great grandchildren.
