Mrs. Novellal Jones was affectionately known to my family and me as Novella. The family of the Late Addie Mae Lewis, who was a friend of Novella's parents, the Late Lee Alto and Thelma Burke, would like to express our sympathy and offer prayers of comfort and healing at the loss of such a kind soul. -- Valinda Lewis Johnson

Dear Eldrado and family, especially Genesis, a niece:

As an active educator, Mrs. Jones approached her classroom with equal parts rigor and empathy. Occasionally, she was curt. As her Business Education student at Coosa County Vocational Center, she broadened my academic and creative ambitions. Her unapologetic articulation and elegance "set me flowin'."Due to her influence, I embrace myself. On behalf of the intergenerational citizens of Coosa County, Alabama, we thank you for filling in economic, parental and cultural gaps; your legacy is cemented.

I didn't have the honor of having her as a teacher. Though I was still in elementary school at the time, I saw her as a steadying presence during the transition of students from J.D. Thompson into Rockford.
