Louis K. Jones

Louis K. Jones of Federal Way passed away on July 24, 2000, after
and courageous battle with cancer. Lou was born in Norristown,
Pennsylvania on February 17, 1924. He served his country as an
Infantryman with the Third Army in Europe during World War II. He
then attended Gettysburg College and went on to a long career in the
computer industry until his retirement. His years of study of Civil War
history opened a new chapter in his life when he began to lecture to
local groups and to teach Civil War history classes to Seniors at
Highline Community College in Federal Way. Lou was an active
member of the noon Kiwanis Club in Federal Way, and a faithful
member of the Church of the Good Shepherd. He is survived by
Jeanne, his wife of 52 years, daughter Meg Jones and husband Denis
Merrill of Olympia, and son Ken Jones and wife Karla of Los Banos,
California. His grandchildren are Matthew, Adam and Julia Shelton,
Rachel, Kala, Casey, Megan and Ethan Jones, and Samantha Wilburn.
He was a gentle, loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather.
He will be greatly missed by them and by all of the many lives he
touched. He was a kind man, a quiet and gentle man who enjoyed
sharing his life with others and brought goodness to everyone he knew.
We offer our deepest appreciation to Dr. Senecal and his caring staff
and those on 10A at St. Joseph Hospital who showed such loving
kindness to Lou during his illness. A memorial service will be held on
Wednesday, August 2nd at the Episcopal Church of the Good
Shepherd, 345 S. 312th St., Federal Way at 4 p.m. Remembrances in
Lou's name will be offered to the Church Memorial Fund. Inurnment at
