Donna Richards Jones, 83
CLEARWATER, FLA.– Donna Richards Jones, 83, formerly of Poland, Ohio was born March 7, 1926 in Painesville and moved to Youngstown as a child.
Donna attended Mt. Union College and moved to Poland, where she married Thomas F. Jones.
She was a member of the Poland Presbyterian Church and was a secretary for Youngstown Sheet and Tube until she moved to Clearwater in 1973.
Donna and Tom, with a handful of friends, founded the Clearwater Bridge Center, which still exists today.
Donna was a Silver Life Master bridge player, an accomplishment that was likely related to her sense of humor and quick wit, her pure enjoyment of other people, and her ability to “roll with the punches.”
Donna spent the last two years of her life living with Alzheimer Disease, in the care of her granddaughter, Carrie Connors Seals; and two great-granddaughters, Mandalyn and Delaney, all of Humble, Texas.
She is survived by her daughter, Judy Connors of Clearwater; a son, Jeff Williams of Las Vegas; a grandson, Michael Williams of Seminole, Fla.; three nieces; and four stepsons.
Donna will be remembered as a wonderful mother, grandmother and friend, whose smile could light up a room.
A memorial service will be held in Donna’s hometown of Poland at a date to be determined.
