Mrs. Betty Jean Jones, 88, of Asheville, was called home to be with the Lord on Saturday, February 5, 2022.

Betty was a native of Buncombe Co., where she grew up in the west end neighborhood community. She was a daughter of the late Albert R. and Leathia Moser Lipe.

Betty served her life working in the laundry department at the Grove Park Inn and Hilton Inn. Once Betty retired, she devoted her time caring for her family. She was a very loved mother and grandmother.

Betty is preceded in death by her husband, Joseph Carroll Jones, daughter, Linda Jones, son, Edward (Butch) Lipe and a very loved grandson, Brandon Bridges.

On behalf of the Jones family, we would like to extend our gratitude for all the compassionate caregivers and staff that helped in Betty’s care. We would also like to give a special thanks to Christina.
