Doris Eileen (Francis) Jones, 87, a resident of Indianapolis and Fountaintown, Ind., went gently home to be with her Lord on Monday, Aug. 1, 2011, surrounded by all her loving family. She was born in Crawfordsville, Ind. to the late Cassie B. and Lucy W. (Powell) Francis.

Doris married Ancle Jones on Dec. 15, 1940 at the home of Ancle’s grandfather, James Jones, in Tompkinsville, Ky. She was a homemaker 18 years before going to work at RCA and Western Electric. She retired from Western Electric in 1982 but remained a lifetime member of the Pioneers.

 Doris was an active member of several Missionary Baptist Churches in Ky. and Ind. She most recently was a member of Sunnyside Road Baptist Church. She often shared with others her strong personal faith and testimony, especially during her illness of the past six months.

Doris is survived by her loving husband of 70 years, Ancle Jones; daughter, Betty (Herbert, deceased) Kremer of Greenfield; two sons, Robert (Lou) and Ancle Elvin (April) Jones, both of Indianapolis; 9 grandchildren; 14 great- grandchildren; 10 great-great grandchildren; and a multitude of wonderful, supportive extended family and friends.
