Greta Jane Young Jones left this earth to be with her Savior, Jesus Christ on February 2nd. She was born in Council Bluffs, Iowa in 1934 to Ernest and Helen Young. A graduate of North High School in Omaha, she did one year of college at University of Omaha. In 1953, Greta married Robert W. Jones. While her children were still at home, she went back to college and completed her music degree at Dana College in Blair, Nebraska.

They raised their family on farms near Omaha and then lived several places in Colorado and California. Playing the piano or organ at church or community activities, a family garden, teaching private piano lessons, involvement in her church, leading VBS, all kept her active even in her latter years.

While living in Montrose, CO, she volunteered with House of Hope loving on the young children of moms in need.
