On Friday afternoon, March 1, 2024, Mother Doris Jones entered into eternal rest. She was the daughter of the late James and Martha Braswell-Perry. Born on October 11, 1928, in Franklinton, North Carolina, she was the eldest of seven siblings of whom four have preceded her in death.

She attended Benjamin Franklin Persons High School in Franklinton, North Carolina

Mother Doris "Dot" Jones was a loving wife, mother, aunt and grandmother. When you met her, she always had a special smile. And a different type of laugh.
