"Mother of the Year"
Mrs. "Elouise Jones"
Mother Elouise is originally from the Maribel community, but after meeting the love of her life, she followed him to the city of Bayboro. It was there that they began their family of 9 and established a Jones dynasty that will live on in history through the JONES-HARGROVE FAMILY SOCIETY.
This lady is a lifelong member of Antioch Congregational Christian Church where her pastor is none other than the original GPS of Maribel, Rev. Genard Sawyer.
She’s never really busy except when she’s gardening, canning, quilting and watching her beautiful grand and great grandchildren, the joys of her life. If you happen to see her out on her porch as cars buzz by on busy highway 55, honk the horn at her. I think she might just give you a wave and that beautiful smile.
