Whereas, for many years, she served as a faithful nursery worker for the First Baptist Church of West Columbia, where she wasafaithful member for over sixty years; and

Whereas, in addition to serving her Lord, she was a vigilant prayer warrior, praying daily for the needs and concerns of her children and grandchildren; and

Whereas, together with her beloved husband, the late Julian Jones, Sr., she reared three fine children: Julian Jones, Jr.; Dan Jones; and Becky Dodson. They blessed her with nine adoring grandchildren and five greatgrandchildren; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly are grateful for the life and legacy of Sarah Ross Jones, a proud daughter of South Carolina, and for the example of caring and kindness she set for all who knew her. Now, therefore,
