Shirley Jean Jones

Shirley Jean Jones, born August 11, 1947, passed away August 7, 2025. She was the daughter of the late Curtis and Beulah Anderson Owens and wife of the late Charlie Jones. Mother to Charles Edward “Eddie” (Jolene) and Dirk Wayne Jones, baby Eric (dec). Grandmother to Samantha (Logan Reagon), Kimberly (Dakota Mayse) and Victoria and step grandmother to Brittany (Tyler Seabolt). Great Grandmother to River and Paisley, step great grandmother to Bentley Kennedy, Riley, and Conley Seabolt.

Sister to Susie (Bill) Kries, Azalee (Chester) Jones, Claudia Owens, Allen Owens, and Patty Newport. Sister-in-law to Barbara Goodman and Vickie (Tom) Swint.

She was proceeded in death by family members: brother and sister Winford and Phyllis Owens, brothers-in-law; Brad Newport, Carl (Freda) Jones, Dwayne Scott, and David Goodman.

Shirley was a loving aunt to many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews and a few great-great nieces and nephews. She was a cousin to many and a devoted friend to more than you can imagine.

She was a great asset to the Deer Lodge Community, where she spent numerous years volunteering in the school system, community center and historical society. One of her greatest joys, aside from her family, was being able to be part of the planning of the July 4th Parade and Celebration for many, many years.

Shirley wanted to slip away quietly.  She asked to have nothing long and drawn out, nothing fancy. That was typical Shirley, but the family wanted to give her a glorious send off, so we compromised.

Friends and family are asked to gather at Mount Hope Cemetery in Deer Lodge at 2 pm on Sunday, August 10, 2025. We will spend time together honoring her by remembering and telling our story of the very loved lady. Please join us in this celebration of Shirley in Shirley’s Way.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Mount Hope Cemetery Association.

Schubert Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Shirley Jean Jones.
