Sharon Jones, age 66, of Pounding Mill, Virginia, has moved on to her forever home on Wednesday, December 29, 2021 following a lengthy illness. Those that knew her, visited her, and asked about her, know that she is no longer suffering.

She was born in Richlands, Virginia and was the daughter of Evelyn Davis Dales of Cedar Bluff, Virginia and the late Jarrett Benton Dales. Sharon was a 1973 graduate of Richlands High School and graduated from the SVCC and King College nursing program.

She had worked at the Mattie Williams Hospital, Clinch Valley Medical Center, several doctor's offices in the area, and the Regional Jail. She loved people, especially the sick and elderly, and she enjoyed talking with everyone she met. She had dedicated her life to her nursing career. Her most joyous times were spent with her husband and family. She was always happy to see her nieces and nephews whom she loved as her own. She loved her flowers, dogs, and her special caregiver and friend, Freda Wade, who were her angels with her here on Earth. She loved going to jewelry shows with her sister Carolyn. She enjoyed thrift stores and yard sales where she could talk to anyone she met. In fact, she never met a stranger. Her favorite saying, "I'll be alright," is and will always be in our hearts. She was of the Methodist faith.

In addition to her father, she was preceded in death by a brother, David Lee Dales.

Those that remain to carry on her loving and caring spirit are her: Loving husband of 42 years, Bobby Jones of Pounding Mill, VA; Mother, Evelyn Davis Dales of Cedar Bluff, Virginia; Sisters: Marilyn Altizer and husband, Tim of Cedar Bluff, VA, Carolyn Lowe and husband, Tim of N.
