Mary Janice Jones, lovingly known as Jan, passed away in the early morning hours of November 1, 2026, at Lawrence Hall Health and Rehabilitation in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas.
Jan was a hardworking woman who took great pride in her work and in the life, she built for her family. As a single mother, she worked tirelessly to provide for her son, spending much of her working life as a housekeeper and in the laundry department of a nursing home. She believed in working hard and took pride in doing her job well.
Outside of work, Jan enjoyed spending time with her beloved dog, Buddy, going for walks, and riding her bicycle. Though small in stature, she was big in personality. Feisty, spirited, and full of sass, she was never one to mince words. She also had a rather colorful vocabulary and was never afraid to use it! Those who knew her well wouldn't have had it any other way.
Jan is survived by her son, Steve Swartzlander of Walnut Ridge; her grandson, Tanner, and his wife, Morgan; her great-grandson, Cooper; and her brother, Joe Jones, and his wife, Barbara, of Searcy, Arkansas.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Homer Jones and Minnie Bell McKnight, and two brothers, Kenneth Jones and Hollis Jones.
Jan will be remembered for her strong work ethic, independent spirit, love for her family and animals, and the unmistakable sass that made her unique herself.
Graveside services will be Friday, November 6, 2026, at 12:30 P.M. in the Clover Bend Cemetery...
