FARMINGTON – Nathalie R. Jones, 92, of Farmington died March 5, 2010 at her home in Farmington.
To her children Ronald and Betty-Sue she was Mom, not Mother. To her students at the University of Maine she was Nat, not Professor Jones. She survived two World Wars and the Great Depression in her own self sufficient way; living her life as she believed she should for herself, her children, and the many people she loved and who loved her.
Nat loved to sew, work in her huge garden (and give most of the produce to the neighbors), and go on rafting trips with her students. She had a life long love of learning and reading. The thing she loved most was a good meal with her family and afterwards a good game of cards or checkers with family or friends.
Nat was born in 1917 and is the widow of Herbert Adams and Lenwood Jones. She is survived by her sister Dolly Perry, her son Ronold, her daughter Betty-Sue Greiff, her grand daughters Jenette Nye, PattyAnn Summers and grandson John Holgerson, her great grand daughters Alexandria and Tiffiny, and two great great grand children.
Visitation will be at the Adams-McFarlane funeral Home, 108 Court St. Farmington on Tuesday March 9 from 10 – 11:00 AM followed immediately by a service at 11:00 AM at the Funeral Home. Friends wishing may make online condolences to the family through the funeral home’s website www.adamsmcfarlane.com At the request of the family, please do not send flowers.
