Barbara L. Jones

Barbara L. Jones (Baehler), 57, passed from this life August 20, 2016 at home. Barb was born April 23, 1959 and was a lifelong Iowa resident. She graduated from Valley High School in 1977 and went on to earn her BA in Accounting at ISU, remaining a loyal Cyclone fan no matter what the season brought. She began her career at Taylor Industries in the mid-80’s now known as Hussmann. Barb loved her job and co-workers and was a very dedicated accountant earning a Six Sigma “green belt” in her profession.

Barb married David Jones in 1990 and they made their home in West Des Moines with their cat, KC and after his passing, Maxwell. Meticulous to a fault, Barb was always working on a project, whether trimming bushes, gardening or crafting her beautiful sewing creations. Many of these were made with love for her family and friends. She also enjoyed yoga, music, bicycling, and “Bridge Club” with her friends.

Barb is survived by her husband, David; brother, Barton of Des Moines, IA; sister, Brenda (Al); nephews, Peter (Mindy), Josh and Josiah of Stockton CA; mother-in-law, Dorothy Jones; sister-in-law, Sharon Jones of Venice, FL; and many cousins. In addition, Barb had many friends especially her life-long friends and sisters in love, Jenny, Lissy, and Kristine.

She was preceded in death by her father, Bill; her mother, Bea; Uncle Bob and Aunt Nancy Baehler; and her father-in-law, Floyd Jones.

A celebration of life will be held August 26 from 12 to 2 at Hamilton’s on Westown Parkway followed by burial of her cremated remains at Resthaven Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Animal Lifeline of Iowa http://www.animal-lifeline.com/.
