She also assisted with bookkeeping at Al’s Auto Body Shop, her son’s business, and was a bookkeeper at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Williamstown.
An avid bridge player, Doris also enjoyed cooking (her language of love), gardening and puzzling. Her greatest joy was found in spending time with her family and many friends.
Doris is survived by her loving children, Mark Jones (Donna) of Charlestown, RI, Richard Jones (Debbie) of Williamstown, Carolyn Jones (Lucy Pavalock) of North Adams, Eileen Jones of Sausalito, CA, and Susan Polo (Jeff) of Terrebonne, OR; eight grandchildren, seven great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

The family will host a "Thing in the Spring" to celebrate Doris's life. The family would also like to thank everyone at HospiceCare in the Berkshires for their compassionate and professional care in Doris's final days and would suggest donations to that organization in her memory.
