Her time was spent building a legacy of kindness, a giving spirit, generosity; but most of all, a loving heart. She opened her home to many relatives and friends who lived with her at times. She never turned anyone away. She cared for many children, she loved to sew, cook and bake. Lucinda was always ready to feed anyone who stopped by. She was the matriarch of the Jones family and will be truly missed.
