Carol Lee Jones

Carol Lee Jones, 85, of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, made her peaceful journey home on March 9, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family. Carol was born February 21, 1941, at Holzer Hospital in Gallipolis, Ohio, the daughter of the late Captain Gilmon Grimm and Maude Agatha Grimm.

Carol graduated from Point Pleasant High School in 1959, where she was chosen as Homecoming Queen and led her Alma mater as Drum Majorette. That same year she married her sweetheart, Daniel Isaac Jones, on July 26, 1959, beginning a life built on love, family, and deep roots in the community she cherished.
