<!-- FH = Thomas McAfee Funeral Home, Downtown -->Ruby Berry JonesGreenvilleRuby Berry Jones, 87, of Greenville, died Thursday, July 14, 2011. Ruby served for 36 years as a Registered Nurse. In 1975, she joined the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, providing palliative care for retired brothers in Juneau, AK. Afterwards, she spent two years in Beirut, Lebanon, assisting in corrective spinal surgery for pediatric patients. Her devotion to the Catholic faith and thirst for knowledge inspired several trips to the Holy Land and culminated in her singular role as The Founding Donor of St. Joseph's Catholic School. She received the most joy from reading, traveling, and spending time with her grandchildren and pets. She is survived by three daughters; Melanie Jones Gilfillin, Nancy Jones Guzman, and Margaret Ann Jones Moon; 9 grandchildren; and 5 great grandchildren. "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded." -R.W. Emerson In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to St. Joseph's Catholic School, 100 St. Joseph Dr., 29607. A Rosary will be held Sunday, July 17, 2011 at 6 p.m. with Visitation to follow at Thomas McAfee Funeral Home, Downtown.
