Burial is in Ballards Chapel Cemetery. Blount County, Tn.∼Elmo Joseph Jones, our Daddy/Papa, age 97, of Indio, CA, passed away on March 30, 2015, in Palm Desert, CA. Born in 1918 to Joseph Reps Jones and Lela Ethel Harrington at the family home place in Louisville, TN, in the same house his mother and grandmother were born. He married Nellie Gentry on March 23, 1938, in Blount Co., TN. He served in the Navy during WWII, in the Atlantic Theatre. He was truly one of that “Greatest Generation.” He brought his family to the Coachella Valley in 1951 and eventually started his own business, E.J. Jones & Son Trucking in Cathedral City, retiring back to Tennessee in 1988. He was a member of The Teamsters Union and a 32nd Degree Mason of the Rockford Lodge 469. He loved life, his family, sitting in the sun and Major League Baseball. He was the original “mule whisperer” and was loved by all animals – a true farm boy at heart. He is survived by his only daughter, Alma Fultz, of Banning, CA, his sons, Robert (Jo Ellen), of La Quinta, CA, and Phil of Louisville, TN. He is also survived by 11 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren and 5 great-great grandchildren. He was pre-deceased by his wife, Nellie, in 2005, and his oldest son, Sam Autry Jones in 2003. With grateful appreciation to Elmo’s granddaughter, Kathleen, and her son, Anthony, who lovingly shared their home with him the last 2 ½ years. The family suggests donations in the form of hugs and kisses to your family while they are still living.
