MR. RICHARD HANNIE JONES, son of the late Harold and Luvenia Gregory Jones was born November 27, 1952 in Mecklenburg County, VA and departed this life February 9, 2023 at his residence, South Hill, VA.

He attended the Mecklenburg County Public Schools.

Richard was employed by Carter’s of Boydton, VA and later retired from Barkers Construction Company, South Hill, VA.

On November 21, 1990, he married Celestine Merritt. He was dedicated in chauffeuring his wife to work and coming back to pick her up.

In his spare time Richard enjoyed hunting, fishing and watching his Westerns on TV. He loved chewing tobacco, but you could always catch him with a big old cigar in his mouth...not lit. He was a very soft spoken man and a good friend indeed.

Jones of the home; six step-children- Shana Simmons, South Hill, VA; Arlene Simmons, Kenbridge, VA; Michael (Stephanie) Stigall, South Hill, VA; LaTasha (Richard “Pee-Wee”) Oliver, Keysville, VA; Ray Burton (Christina Pollio), Boydton, VA and Christina Burton (Sharon Brown), Baltimore, MD; four step-grandchildren he reared- Rashawn and Christone’ Burton of the home; Tanya Cannon, South Hill, VA and Myonnia Stigall, Chesapeake, VA; one sister- Rebecca (William “Billy”) Wilson, South Hill, VA; four sisters-in-law, five brothers-in-law; devoted friends- Eugene Gregory, Leo Clary, Nelson Walker, Tyrone Jiggetts, Arthur Davis, Robert Wilson, Junnie Baskerville, Curbie Artis and Roy Clary and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Asking ALL attendees to please wear a mask.
