Kay Jones Williams

Kay Jones Williams, age 82, died of complications due to Alzheimer's on Saturday June 4, 2016, at The Gables in Shelley, Idaho surrounded by her loving husband and family.

Kay Jones was born on May 1, 1934 in Malad, Idaho, to parents John J. Jones and Armenta Richards. She married Franklin Dale Williams on April 12, 1951 in the Logan Temple. She loved and supported her children and grandchildren in all their activities and was a loving wife, mother and grandmother.

Kay was a stay at home mom until her children were all in school and she went to work at Mallory's Department Store and then at Rexall's Moulton Drug Store, both in Shelley.

She also volunteered on Election Day for about seven years.

She was active in her church, serving in Primary, Young Women's (MIA) and Relief Society and was a dedicated visiting teacher. Kay was known for having a big heart and empathy for others and was always willing to help others.

She enjoyed helping Frank build their cabin in Island Park. Some of her fondest memories were spending time with family there, hunting and fishing with Frank, working in their yard and garden, and supporting children and grandchildren in their many activities.

Many thanks to the loving and caring staff at The Gables in Shelley and to Hands of Hope Hospice for their dedication and love shown to Kay and her family.
