Ms. Melissa Jones was born on August 26, 1966 in Valdosta, Georgia to the late Willie Henry Jones and Gladys Hall Jones.
She was called home to take her rest on June 1, 2026 at Baptist Medical Center, Jacksonville, Florida.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her grandparents.
Ms. Melissa was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. She was devoted in her faith with Christ and had a warmth and friendliness that made everyone smile. She had a passion to spend time with her kids, grandchildren, and family. She also enjoyed watching movies in her free time. She would motivate, always encourage, and uplift others to keep going.
Her presence will be sorely missed by all who knew her, especially her family. Melissa leaves to cherish her memories her son, Samual (Shavonia) Carter-Jones; her daughter, Sadaryl (Travis) Graham and son, Quenton (Sha-Neece) Carter; sisters, Carol Moye and Viva Jones; brother Willie Jones; ten grandchildren; one great grandchild; four nieces; five great nieces; three great nephews; one great-great niece; and a host of relatives and friends.

I'm going to miss you Auntie. You ❤️ always smile when I saw you.
Melissa called us Mama and Dad in Christ. We were blessed to be Children of God and part the family of World Harvest Church in Dublin. Ga., for many years. We grew in Christ, impacting, imparting and influencing many people with God's Love and His Word. Melissa truly was a giver, a sower, prayer interceding for many. She willingly fulfilled many roles with much joy. In Jesus Name, we speak Strength, Peace, Comfort and Love for her family, Now. We love her and all of you. ❤️
We are truly saddened to hear of Melissa's passing. Sending heartfelt sympathy to the Jones Family during this difficult time from North Carolina and praying for peace and comfort in the days ahead. Shonda Dove and The Dove Family
