Lydia Dunn Jones' Obituary
Lydia Dunn Jones, age 69, of Temple passed away suddenly March 12, 2021. Lydia was a member of New Beginnings Church of God in Villa Rica. She was born and grew up in Atlanta, and eventually moved to Mableton where she attended Pebblebrook High School. Lydia met the love of her life, Thomas, at a Church of God youth camp, and they have been married for 51 years. She was a wonderful caregiver to her sons, and a talented sitter for other children. Lydia’s love and care have left an impression on over a hundred children, and those children (now adults) still talk about how sweet a lady she was. Lydia was a loving wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend who will be dearly missed.
Lydia was preceded in death by her parents, William Greer Dunn and Willie Mae Dunn; and her son, William Charles Jones. She is survived by her husband, Thomas Joseph Jones; son, Alan Jones of Temple; grandchildren, Caleb Jones and Olivia Jones, both of Powder Springs; brother, James Dunn; and step-brother, Johnny Bailey.
