DONALD LAWLEY JONES

Donald Lawley Jones, a native of West Monroe and resident of Covington, died 
peacefully at home surrounded by his family on February 28, 2013, at the age of 
83. He was the beloved husband of the late Norma Ann Jones, loving father of 
Jack Jones, Janis Daviston and Reg Jones, proud Paw Paw of Christopher 
Daviston, Matthew Daviston, Jonathan Jones, Bryan Jones, Angela Daviston and 
Ashley Jones, and Great Paw Paw of Blake Jones, Ellie Jones, Abigail Jones and 
Jaxon Jones. He is also survived by his dear sister Ann Magown, many loving 
family members, and special friends Rosie Parker and Elizabete Dimarco.

He proudly served his country in the Louisiana Army National Guard for 30 
years, retiring in 1980 as a Colonel. He retired as Executive Vice President 
and Chief Operating Officer of Louisiana Gas Service Company in 1986 after many 
years with dear coworkers and friends.

Lawley would be the first to say that family is the most important thing in 
life. He spent his last few days surrounded by his loving family and friends, 
reminding us of his favorite saying passed down by his late grandfather Papa 
Fleming, "Take care of your family and your family will take care of you." He 
will always be remembered as a great, generous man who loved his country and 
treasured his family.

Relatives and friends are invited to a visitation at Kilpatrick Funeral Home, 
1321 North 7th Street West Monroe, LA, on Sunday March 3, from 5:00 pm until 
7:00 pm. Funeral services will be held at White's Ferry Road Church of Christ, 
3201 N 7th Street West Monroe, LA, on Monday, March 4, at 11:00 am. Interment 
will be in Hasley Cemetery in West Monroe, LA. 

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Salvation Army in Lawley's 
honor at 105 Hart Street Monroe, LA 71201. The Salvation Army held a special 
place in Lawley's heart for the assistance and spiritual foundation they 
provided his family
