Robert Jones Obituary
Robert Lee Jones, 74, of Miramar Beach, Florida, passed away peacefully on the evening of Saturday, July 6, 2024.
Born November 22, 1949, in Edinburgh, Indiana to Eleanor and Claude Jones, Bob grew up in and around Tulsa, Oklahoma. He graduated from Memorial High School and continued his education at Amherst College in Massachusetts. There he met Frances Jean O'Connell, a student at nearby Mount Holyoke College. They married in 1971, in Florham Park, New Jersey.
Bob and Fran moved to New York to begin their careers, and for Bob to finish his education with a Masters Degree from Columbia. They then moved to Detroit and finally Chicago, where they settled to make their home and raise their family. They lived in the suburbs of Chicago for twenty-six years, before moving to Miramar Beach, Florida in their retirement.
Before and during his retirement, Bob enjoyed cycling, sailing and mixology. He fancied traveling the world and riding a bike through the local countryside, experiencing their food and wine first hand. Bob was also an avid collector of wine, amassing a significant collection of estate bottles at his Florida home.
Bob is survived by his wife, Frances; sister, Judith; brother-in-law, David; children, Christopher and Nicholas; daughters-in-law, Aliana and Jennifer; and grandchildren, Davis, Harper and Annelle. He was preceded in death by his parents, Eleanor and Claude Jones.
A celebration of life will be held in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, on Saturday, August 3, 2024 at 12:30 p.m., at the Vue Restaurant.
In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to The Shepherd Center of Atlanta in the name of Robert Lee Jones.
