Marvalene Jones
April 30, 1930 — February 17, 2025
Marvalene "Missy" Jones, 94, passed peacefully from this life Monday, February 17th in Brownwood, Texas. Missy was born near Big Spring, Texas April 30th, 1930 to the late William C. Cox and Minnie Steward Cox.
She moved to Comanche in 1933 with her family in a covered wagon. She graduated from Comanche High School in 1947. While working for Gore's, she met the love of her life, Darrell Jones. They were married December 25th, 1959. In 1964 they welcomed a son, Mark Ross Jones. Missy was also the proud "Grammy" to 3 granddaughters, who thought the world of her.
Missy worked many years at Comanche National Bank, retiring in 1994 & at the NRCS office where she worked until her retirement in 2019.
Missy was a historian. She loved to teach the younger generations about the history of Comanche County and Texas. She was a wealth of knowledge, always having a story to tell. Missy was a long-time volunteer at the Comanche County Historical Museum. More often than not, you could find her there, dressed in her red prairie dress, greeting people of all ages and sharing stories on the history of our county.
She was very proud of her life accomplishments. Missy was the Comanche Chamber's Woman of the Year in 2012, winner of the Cornerstone award in 2015 & the 2021 Rodeo Parade Grand Marshall, just to name a few. She served on many boards and volunteered hundreds of hours throughout her lifetime.

She is survived by her sister, Maxine Burns; son, Mark Jones & fiancé Falon; granddaughters, Morgan Solis and husband, Danny, Jolee Hurteau and husband, Dustin, and Marki Jones; great-grandson, Cohen Hurteau; and numerous cousins and friends.
