Mrs. Willie Mae Jones, 88, passed away at Forrest General Hospital, Hattiesburg, MS, on May 18, 2026.

She attended local schools, forming the foundational values of community, family, and hard work that would define her entire life.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Willie and Essie Mae Jones.

Survivors include her devoted son, Percy ( Joyce Jones); grandchildren, Sharonda Jones, Tanisha Jones, and Subar Langston; great-grandchildren, Ariana Langston and Trinity Carey; a host of extended family members, church family, and dear friends who were deeply loved by her.
