Condolences to the family, Ms. Jones as I knew her was my high school science teacher. Oh, how she loved teaching and did an excellent job at it. Very quiet but well-mannered to her students and faculty members at Elm City High School.

Sending our condolences to the Jones Family, as you go through this difficult time. Our hearts and prayers are with you! The Lawrence, Lane & Macklin Families

Is that a reminiscence of the days I spent with you? I love every moment you touch my heart in so many ways. I was so grateful to be one of your caretakers, filled with love and happiness. I can't, I don't want to say goodbye. I'll see you again. Love always, Carol.🕊🥀😇

Soror Jessie Jones was an amazing woman with an abundance of humility and love. Thank you for all that you share with me. I will forever remember you as a kind, gentle, and nurturing woman.

What a beautiful life well-lived, a life of faith and favor. Thank you for being an educator to many and a community servant to all. Take your rest, Ms. Jessie Jones. Jackie Rand - Frederick Douglas Alum, Elm City, NC, Class of 1969.

Ms Jessie Jones was simply amazing! We thank God for blessing us with her! She taught me Physical Science, Chemistry & Physics at Elm City High School! She taught me how to live life with each & every kind word of encouragement! We love & adore her. She will be missed! 💙💛💙💛

Ms. Jones was a wonderful person and teacher. Every child that she taught in the Wilson County Schools System especially Frederick Douglass High School was touched by her guidance, leadership, knowledge, expectations, support, concern but mostly her love for teaching them. And... making sure that they all learned. Truly, she was one of God's Angels.

My prayers are with each of you and may she rest in peace.She will be missed by many.

Ms Jessie Jones amongst the brightest stars in minds of the McIver Class of 1959. She opened our eyes to new possibilities and opportunities. Her star has not dimmed with her transition. It shines even brighter as she hovers over her beloved class of 1959 from her perch in heaven. Her spirit will live on in the life of those of us who were privileged to have her as a teacher. This is not good bye rather we will see you later. McIver Class of 1959.

Soror Jessie I will miss your gentle and loving spirit. I love you and pray we will meet again.

My condolences to the family and friends of Miss Jessie. A sweet soul that had already been missed from water aerobics and the voting polls. Miss was my idol in water aerobics. An inspiration to all of us younger participants at Rocky Mount Senior Center. Always greeting us with a smile and sweet things to say. Miss Jessie I know you received your wings 🪽 and you're flying high. RIP 🙏🏼

What a beautiful soul heaven has gained! My dear Soror, you will be missed abroad. Your love and dedication to the community that we shared are unmatchable. Your valued leadership, unwavering friendship, and love for our beloved sisterhood will never be replaced, nor forgotten. I thank God for sharing you with us. I love you bunches, Soror Jessie!

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Ms. Jessie M. Jones. I had the great fortune of having Ms. Jones as my chemistry and physics teacher at Beddingfield High School and as my soror. Rest well!

Jessie was an awesome lady,Link Sister and friend. I will miss her. Jessie take your rest. To the family ,May God be with you. Marian Farmer

My sincere condolences to the Jones family. I met Ms.Jesse at the Senior Center when I started in the water aerobics class in 2017. She welcomed me with open arms and her sweet spirit drew me to her even more. When Covid came and shut everything down in 2021, I no longer got to see her or talk to her. I do thank the Lord for putting me in her pathway for that period and just know family she lived a long life just like it tells us in the bible. You all are in my prayers. Rest on sweet precious lady.

​My heartfelt condolences go out to the entire family on the passing of your beloved "Aunt Jessie." Even though I never had the pleasure of meeting her, I know how much she is loved and how much she will be missed by all of you. May you find comfort in the beautiful memories you share and in the lasting legacy she created. Thinking of you all during this time of sorrow.

My dear Gwen, everyone has his or her own way and amount of time to heal from the death of a loved one. The important thing is to never forget just how much your life was and still will be impacted by the times you shared and all the moments you spent with "Aunt Jessie."

The momentary discomfort and pain have little victory over our eternal life and destiny that God has prepared for us—the most wonderful gift ever.

May the grace and mercy of the Lord continue to give you strength and comfort in the days ahead. In a world filled with economic and political turmoil and war, I hope that you find peace and joy. And let us give thanks for our blessings—life, health, family, and friends.

I send my deepest sympathy to the Jones' family and friends. I will always remember the impact that Miss Jones had on me, and other students at Frederick Douglass High School. I am delighted that she was able to attend our 50th Annual Alumni Banquet where she was recognized for her exceptional service as an educator.

It is with heartfelt sympathy that I express my condolences on the passing of our beloved Soror Jesse Jones. She was the epitome of grace, wisdom, and sisterhood. At 96 years young, her presence was a blessing and her spirit truly inspiring.

I will forever treasure the moments I was able to share with her. She was so sweet, knowledgeable, and full of life lessons that reflected the true essence of Delta Sigma Theta. One of my fondest memories was introducing my daughter, Harmonie, to her. Harmonie was deeply impressed by Soror Jones' wisdom and the way she carried herself with such dignity and strength.

Her legacy of love, service, and excellence will continue to live on in all who had the privilege of knowing her. May we find comfort in knowing that she has transitioned to a place of eternal peace and joy, and that her light will continue to shine through the lives she touched.

Rest well, our dear Soror. Your red flame will forever burn bright.

Miss Jessie Jones was my math teacher at Frederick Douglass High School in Elm City from 1965-1967. She taught me Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II and she was very strict. You didn't get away with anything in her room. She taught you discipline and at the same time tried to not show you how much she loved you. My last year of high school I didn't have her as my Trigonometry teacher but I would see her everyday and she would always ask how I was doing. After graduating in 1968, I would often see her but not so much when she retired from Wilson County School System. She was very active in politics and in our sorority (Delta Sigma Theta)! She really had a life well lived!! Rest in peace, Soror!!

I will miss my. Godmother very much. She has always been there for me. She was my support system. Peace be with her.

It was my pleasure to have known and was a friend. Peace to you all. She made a difference in this life. She served.
