Obituary for MADELINE JONES
Madeline Jones, 69, of Hyattsville, MD passed away on Friday January 29, 2010 at 9:30 am at Prince George's Hospital, Cheverly, MD. The angels around the throne sang the homecoming song for Sister Madeline and Sister Madeline with a song in her heart bore her wings to glory. Madeline Jones was born on April 22, 1940 to the late James and Ethel Holland in Calvert County, Maryland where she was educated in the county public schools. She was a lifelong resident of Prince Georges County.
Madeline dedicated her life to enriching the lives of everyone she met and was thought of as the "Mother" of her family. Her kindness was extended to all she could assist, often times giving to others and going without. She often took others into her home and provided care and nurtured for them in their elderly years. Her compassion and hospitable personality extended even to her church family. Often times, these many acts of kindness were not known to others as she wished for no accolades for her love.
She was a hard worker and spent over 30 years working for Kay Management. Upon leaving Kay Management, she worked at Almost Family, an adult daycare center. During that same period of time, she worked for the Prince George's County Public Schools where she was employed at the time of her passing. She was very dedicated and committed to her job and never wanted to take a day off.
Madeline was a lifelong member of St. Edmonds United Methodist Church, where she was very active. She was the Senior Choir President, sang with the Sensational Singers, and also a member of the Flower Circle, all for more than 20 years. In addition she served as the kitchen committee coordinator which included catering many weddings, and organizing other functions at St. Edmonds.
Madeline enjoyed family and friends, but her first love and passion was GOD. Her faith and undying commitment to the Lord was exemplified in her witnessing and presence in the community. She was known affectionately for her love of singing, and often times her singing would usher in the presence of the Holy Spirit that was burning inside the members' spirits.
She leaves with loving memories, two children; Nathaniel Hurley (Barbara), and Delphine Marbley (Darren); three grandchildren; Nathaniel III, Justin, and Kennedi and one great grandchild; TaiVaughn; four brothers; Stanley, Oliver, Leroy, and James; five sisters; Bertina, Virginia, Charlene, Donna and Rose; five sisters-in-law; Dorothy Mae, Mary Catherine, Marthalene, Catora, and Inez; one brother-in-law; William Thomas; five special friends; Angie, Audrey, Kim, Reba, Veronica and a host of nieces, nephews and many other friends and family. She was preceded in death by her sisters Marie, Gladys, and Elizabeth; brother, Oscar; and granddaughter, Danielle.
