I am so upset. My adopted grandmother has died, and even through I have know she was ill for months, years actually, I am still a wreck over it. I am asking for people to write comments about their favorite memories about her. I know she loved all of you, and you her. Since she traveled the country selling with her husband, I am hoping for feedback from here, as well as other areas.

Roberta Dot Jones, 98, died peacefully at home, surrounded by family and friends Sunday.
Born Roberta Dorthea Williams, in Essex England to the late Jane Lisa Williams, and Loren John Williams, she moved to the United States as Young child in 1921. Stopping first in New York, she met and married James O. Jones, who passed away in 1971. Together, day traveled the country selling nick-nacks and trinkets to 5 & 10 in the days before the internet and mega stores.
Never having children of their own, they were involved in the upbringing of countless nieces and nephew of her brother, Loren J. Williams Jr., of London, England, and her sister, Kathy Ann Porter, of Annapolis, MD. Survivors include multiple great nieces and nephews.
Funeral and interment will be private.
