Eileen Doris (Leluk) Jones

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Eileen Jones on January 10, 2025 at the Chinook Regional Hospital, Lethbridge, AB.  She was 86 years of age.

Eileen was born in Hillcrest Mines, AB on August 27, 1938 to parents, Annie and Peter Leluk.  From a young age she learned to enjoy what you have and to make every moment special.  On July 14, 1956, Eileen married the love of her life, Fred Jones, and they went on to be blessed with sixty-two happy years together.

When she wasn’t busy taking care of her family, and into retirement, Eileen enjoyed gardening and playing cards.  In her younger days, she loved to go dancing and she remained an avid reader throughout her life.  Eileen’s dedication to her community was evident in her membership with The Order of the Eastern Star, and she was a valued member of the Hillcrest Miners’ Club who could always be counted on when needed.  Eileen’s warm smile and kind nature will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known her.

Left to mourn her passing and celebrate her life is her son, Warren (Tammie) Jones; her grandchildren, Lindsey Jones and Ryan (Elisha Self) Jones and their mother, Margaret Jones; her great-grandchildren, Haidan, Kailan and Brynnslei; Tammie’s children, Heather (Alan) and Dustin; as well as many friends.

She was predeceased by her husband, Fred Jones; her parents, Annie and Peter Leluk; her daughter, Sharon; and her sister, Mary (Hank) Bond.

With respect for Eileen’s wishes, no services will be held.  Condolences may be registered at www.fantinsfuneralchapel.ca.
