Ms. Rita Louise Jones

September 2, 1946 - February 24, 2020

Rita Louise Jones 73, of Pocahontas, passed away on Monday, February 24, 2020 at her home. She courageously fought the battle to the very end. Her favorite song became her theme song “I did it my way” by Elvis Presley. More than anything, she loved her family. Rita was a very giving person who raised her two children to love life and embrace the quiet time. Never to be discouraged by life's setbacks and to always believe in themselves. She was an avid mystery reader with a huge heart for stray animals which always found their way to her home. Rita was employed for over 20 years with Pro Group “Golf Bag” Manufacturing in Pocahontas and was a lifelong member of the Church of Christ. Rita was born and raised in Pocahontas, Arkansas to the late Jess and Claudia Franklin. In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by two brothers Tony Barnett and Jess Barnett Jr and one sister Peggy Long. She is survived by her two children Kim Haynes and John Jones both of Pocahontas, her sister Doris Mae Hostler of Poplar Bluff, Missouri and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends. Rita’s service information is still pending and will be updated when final. Tri-City LLC Crematory Funeral Home is honored and privileged to serve the family of Rita Jones.
