DALE JONES ~ Steel Guitar |
|
i |
Dale traveled with the Inspirations from 1976 through
1982. During that time, Dale recorded an instrumental tape with Roger Fortner which they
titled, "GOLDEN INSTRUMENTALS.
Dale joined the REX NELON SINGERS in 1982 and as providence would have
it, the Nelons sang at a church in Pell City, Alabama where Dale met his future bride,
Cindi; and they were married in 1989.
Dale tells us that the cassette of his recording is available from:
Dale Jones

But the star of the Jones home is
COLLIN MATTHEW JONES,
Dale & Cindi's son who celebrated
his 7th birthday on May 1, 2005. |
Of course this photo was made when Collin was about 1 1/2
years of age
~ How quickly they grow up. |

Mrs. Wanda M. Jones, beloved mother of Dale Jones, suffered a heart
attack at her home in Akron, Ohio, on Friday, February 22, 2002. She was 76 years of age.
She and her husband of 58 years, Donald, were at home when he noticed
that she was slumping and unable to speak. Paramedics were called, the crew quickly
arrived, and she was transported to a nearby Akron hospital. Dale said that she told
his Dad to "please tell them not to turn on the sirens" worrying that it would
concern her neighbors.
The doctors began treatment, but a stoke occurred, and she became
paralyzed on one side. Treatments became increasingly less effective over the next few
days, as she entered a coma. Shortly after midnight on Monday night/Tuesday morning,
February 26, 2002, angels entered the room, and Mrs. Jones went home to meet her Savior
and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Services were held at her home church, The Chapel, with many lifelong friends and family
members present, and the interment took place in an Akron cemetery.
Though a nearly life long resident of Akron, Mrs. Jones was born in
LaFollette, Tennessee, into a family which numbered 12 children. She loved the annual
family reunions which take place in Winchester each year, and she loved Southern Gospel
music and singers, especially the groups that Dale played for (The Nelons, the Mashburns,
and the Inspirations). In addition to Mr. Jones, 79, and Dale and his family, she is
survived by an older son, Dan, and three siblings.

In honor and memory of
Mrs. Wanda Jones;
and for all the other close friends,
fellow laborers and associates we have recently lost,
we offer the following verse.
Our prayer is that it will give you the same solace it provides for us. |
| DEATH IS NOT
DEATH
"Death is
not death if you know the Lord. It is merely a change of
place,
a change of state, a transfer from one realm to another.
Death is not death, if it kills
no part of us,
except that which has hindered us from the perfect life.
Death is not death, if it raises
us in a moment from darkness to light,
from weakness to strength, from sinfulness to holiness.
Death is not death, if it
perfects our faith by making it sight
and lets us behold Him in whom we have believed.
Death is not death, if it rids
us of doubt and fear,
sickness and disease, of sorrow and sadness.
Death is not death, if it gives
us to those we loved and lost,
for whom we lived, whom we long to live with again.
Death is not death,
for Christ has conquered death for Himself,
and for those who trust in Him."
